Yes and no.

There are certain places I like to visit, and I tend to return there over and over. There are definitely places that are still on my list to visit.

I like historical sites, architecture, and museums. There are certain cities and resorts I enjoy. I'm not into beaches or outdoor activities. I don't do roadtrips. I hate nature. My idea of "roughing it" is a hotel that doesn't offer room service.

I definitely find traveling to be a hassle! I always figure that if a trip is worth going on it has to clear the "annoyance overhead" factor. That is, it had better be good enough to make up for the vagarities of traveling. Some places we've found, happily, are.

Even when I find somewhere I like to go, a week is usually enough for me. After that I'm sick of rich food, strange beds, and public toilets. I start adding up how much it costs and missing my cats.

Traveling, for me, is definitely one of those things where a little is good and more is definitely NOT better.

If you've found you don't care for it, more power to you! Focus on what you do like and tell anyone who questions your preferences to sit & spin!
