All those restaurants like Rainforest Cafe and Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville and Hard Rock Cafe to go to with the overpriced drinks and loud music. The constant din of children saying "I'm bored" and "I want to ride Space Mountain". Then you wait for two hours at Space Mountain and when you finally get to the end of the line, the child gets scared and doesn't want to go on the ride after all. Now he just wants to go get ice cream. Another line.
On one vacation, my station wagon broke down in the middle of nowhere, just like Chevy Chase, and we spent two days at some West Virginia motel sitting around the dirty pool, eating at Waffle House and constantly feeding the kids money to go play games at the video arcade in the nearby strip mall. Now that was comparatively relaxing, I got to actually read a book or two.
Travel used to be for the well-off, then the middle-class discovered it an only do it because they are supposed to like it.
The getaway that's close to home, where you know the restaurants and have some favorite activities, and a nice place to read all those books downloaded on the iPad…now, that's relaxation.
