I think there's a stereotype of sitting on a beach, viewing all the local attractions, parks, etc. People get sucked into that, and don't realize what they actually want to do with their week/2 off, etc

I ask because I use to be like you, "I want to see all these countries and things" so I would jump towns/countries every x days, etc
Then I figured out, that it's all the same shit, another city, another town, another attraction

All that I really want to do, is go surfing. Everything else is just a bonus. Now I'm alot more "relaxed" on vacation

As for what mikemhg said, with the packing / unpacking thing:
Depending if your male or female lol, take ONE backpack with you, and that's it.
No suitcase. I did this a few years ago, and im never going back to suitcase travel. A well planned 15lb backpack is all you need

Lol the thing I hate the most when going with the wifey is hey let's go shopping, I'm always like why? OK sure if there's something you're looking for that you know they sell here and not back home we can go look at that but I don't really feel like spending hours walking through a mall or shopping district. Granted sure you do randomly come across stuff but really that isn't what I'm here for
