Most people actually have real friends, real families, and real relationships take real vacations, not the fake ones that people pretend to take just to grab a few doctored photos to post on Instagram and brag how great their fake but zero substance life really is on social media. Most fun vacations, don’t scream “I need to stay in the city”. In fact most of the time, that’s quite the opposite, and the best ones are usually the ones that people don’t spend the majority of the time taking selfies. Most vacations are fun by itself by the people you are with. Something that one day hopefully more people will understand.
Come to think about it, every single time we went on a skiing trip in a friend group to Squaw, or Jackson Hole, or Whistler it was fun staying in a dumpy cabin. And you wouldn’t be looking to stay in a city of you are visiting a remote place like Grandn Canyon, Lake Powell, Antelope Canyon Valley, for instance. Or if you go up to Sacramento for water rafting, ditto. If vacation, you mean only city type scenary, well if that floats your boat, but you are missing out on a boatload of things. personally, imho all cities start looking the same with a Starbucks on every corner no matter which city you go, lol.
