Travel > Vacations Do people vacation primarily for excitement or relaxation?: 2 of 16
I think that people go on vacation primarily for excitement, even if they think it will be about relaxation. Vacations at one time used to be about relaxation and doing nothing, so people could go back to work refreshed. Now it seems that it has become a competition of some sorts. If you turn on the TV, you can see that ever... More..
