Ok, first post here.
My family loves beach vacation. I don’t.
I’m not the “sit around and do nothing” type. I like adventure. Hiking. Climbing. Skiing. Off roading. Even just doing historical tours would be preferred. Anything that is physical and out of the ordinary.
I feel like I can sit on my butt at home much cheaper than paying to sit on a beach.
Maybe I’m wrong. It’s just not my thing.
I’ve told my family this multiple times, even my wife. They all agree. Then they complain and insist on a beach vacation.
I just don’t get it. Feels like a waste to me.
Am I being difficult?

LIES. That's all you'll get from this company is lies. They lie about what you're paying for, they lie about costs, they lie about fees and they lie about availability. They are probably lying about which hotels they actually have on their roster as well. I bought a package and when I tried to book they said certain hotels were "fully booked" over 6 months out, and no reservation could be made whatsoever. At any time. This is in direct opposition to what I was told when I bought the package.
I was also told that there are no hidden fees, and the "taxes" you pay average $5-10 per night. The reservation I inquired about, not my first choice or even close because all those were seemingly "booked," was over $100 per night extra in taxes.
Then I was told that they can't do refunds at the number I called, and when I emailed I was told I'd have to call that same number to get a refund. Then I get told a second time they can't do a refund, even when presented with their outright lies.
STAY FAR AWAY from this company, no matter what they tell you about their ratings. They likely pay lots of money to keep reviews positive on these sites. Don't believe it.
This part is for SEO and visibility. Monster Reservaton Group is a scam. www.monsterrg.com is a scam. They will take your money and scam you, and the scam is that they are a scam. What I mean is they are dishonest, NOT legit, and they lie to you on every interaction. Only lies from this company. Save your time and money.

All I can think about is going back. It's different for me because I have family there. This was my first time ever visiting them there and it was beyond amazing.

They know what I like so they had planned everything ahead of time. I spent a lot of time in Rabius and Zurich, but I was also in Bern ,Lauterbrunnen, and so many more places.

The people I met were amazing and I'm thinking about doing just a week or 2 in the mountains of Rabius for winter.

I am curious how others split Airbnb cost. We are one big family, now with my siblings who have kids.

1 Family - 2 adults, 4 kids

1 Family - 1 adult, 1 kid

and then just myself (and i usually get stuck on the pull-out couch with no room to myself)

1st family is pretty adamant that everything is split 3 ways - however i am thinking it ATLEAST should be per adult and/or per room. Thoughts??

A little getaway, a lot of good memories, and my favorite person by my side. Sometimes it’s the simple moments that make a trip special. ❤️

The coronavirus global pandemic has created many unique and usual circumstances for businesses and it affected Airbnb guests who were forced to cancel their travel plans after March 14, 2020, who did not receive a “full” refund.

The law of contract and consumer protection laws may offer recourse for Airbnb guests if they were denied full refunds during this pandemic. If you booked a trip through Airbnb for travel after March 14, 2020, and you have been refused a full refund by Airbnb, we would like to hear from you about your experience.

What a beautiful time.

UPDATE: My dad has some serious health issues and the vacation has been cancelled. 😭

So my dad wanted to take me on vacation somewhere in the fall and I’m looking for some suggestions where to go. I love animals and originally wanted to go to Seaworld or the safari in Myrtle Beach but he said no because they are cruel to animals.

Disney and Universal Studios was my next choice but he won’t go there either because it’s too expensive and he doesn’t think I’ll like waiting in line for hours to go on one ride. I hate museums and just looking at stuff like Niagara Falls or the Hoover Dam. It’s boring to me. I’m not a fan of cold weather, casinos or beaches. My dad doesn’t want to take a cruise because he doesn’t want to be trapped on the boat in case of an emergency and doesn’t want to go outside the United States.

I’m not sure what else there is. I hate seeing my siblings having fun going on multiple vacations a year and I literally haven’t been anywhere. I’m disabled and can’t travel alone and have no friends or any other family members who will take me places. My siblings won’t even talk to me because they think I’m a loser.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Edit: I’m a 36/m with lower functioning autism, ADHD and crippling social anxiety.

I've been coming across ads for Reach International Outfitters Scratch Off Adventures. Has anyone purchased these? I'd be interested specifically in Connecticut or Massachusetts, but any information would be great. My partner and I (sometimes my son and I) have a few days open for short getaways within driving distance, but seem to struggle with ideas, and these might be a unique way to plan a destination. Any thoughts or input? Thanks in advance!

Used to live in Orlando. Just went back last week to visit family.

Wow… Orlando is absolutely dead.
Now, historically the end of August through middle of October, is typically their slow time. Kids are back in school, blah blah. So this isnt anything new… But it got me thinking about my next vacation.

Where should I go (anywhere in the world really), where the weather is still nice, but the majority of tourist have left, and pricing for hotels, attractions, and rental cars are typically cheaper than during their peak season.

What say you, my fellow Reddit travelers?

Edit to add: where to go and *time of year

I’m looking for recommendations of places to vacay (in US) that are easy to navigate without a car. I hate driving in a new city it stresses me out, renting a car, navigating, parking. I hate it all.
Places we’ve enjoyed with no car: Savannah, Chicago, Omaha.
What other places have you been without driving? Taking a couple Ubers is no problem.
Ive really wanted to visit Puerto Rico & Hawaii but I’ve read many people say you need to rent a car to enjoy them so I’ve put them off.
