    If you’re not maniacally ripping every minute of theoretical fun out of your vacation with an insane timetable that begins at 0500, you’re probably rich enough that your dietician has you fasting intermittently.

      I am thinking about it the other way around. Most people consider vacations as a chance to get rest, because they are working starting 5 in the morning for the rest of the year.

      That’s the conundrum - for many people anything that follows a timetable is not fun per definition.

    You got me fucked up if I’m waking up early on my master approved break from wage slaving. I’m waking up at noon and I’m having a bowl for breakfast.

            The smoked marinara dipping sauce is a regional favorite, complementary offered at all meals to the hotel’s guests.

      I honestly aggree. I arranged my shit quite well, started working late, worked till it’s late. It is how I like it, I get really productive at ~15:00 till ~19:00. Now my children go to school (therefore I have to get up early) and they banned working after 18:00 at my company (thanks labour union, I get what you wanted to do, but you screwed me). My productivity dropped so much it stresses me out and I am constantly tired, because I don’t sleep enough.

        Same - I’ve basically forced my employer to de facto let me work whenever I want.

        I mean, they just like the output they get and with literally no drawbacks, so it’s especially shitty knowing that I’ve basically been fighting some … traditions?

        Its literally just full on discrimination (as classification I mean), it’s just too much of a dispersed problem to gain attention & we are all brainwashed (starring late is considered lazy yet finishing early isn’t).

        No, we rebuild when normies are sleeping so when they wake up everything is already different, scheduled changed, work hours flexible, any reference to time before noon punishable.

    This is why you don’t pay for breakfast (if you have the option), wake up late at your time and go discover a local spot and some food to eat as breakfast/lunch item.

    You know another way you’re not allowed to be lazy on vacation?

    If you get an AirBnB, you have to clean the place before you leave.

    Hotels have cleaners who clean your room so you can leave it a mess. I shouldn’t have to do chores when I’m on vacation. One of many reasons I prefer hotels.

      Only reason I use an AirBNB is if it’s a unique location where there are no hotels (like a cabin in the woods on a river or something) but I agree, I only book ones that don’t have a ridiculous checkout policy.

      I also hate that private equity has taken over towns with short term rentals making the rest of us pay more in rent.

        We once used it back when it really was just individual people with extra places renting them out short-term when we stayed in New York, but that was like 2009. And then my mom insisted on paying for one when she went with me to the Mayo Clinic earlier this year, but at least it was just someone renting out the bottom half of the duplex they owned and not a corporation… but yeah, unless there’s just not another good option, I’m not doing AirBnB when it’s my choice.

        What is the cleaning fee for?

        It goes towards the owner’s next single-family home that they’ll turn into a rental

    Our vacation days generally consist of stalking the area for good food and doing tourist-y things to fill the time between meals. My partner’s favorite thing to do during vacation downtime is to find more restaurants and cafes in the area for the next day, so hotel food is never a factor.

    The worst breakfast I ever had was at a Courtyard Marriott that was under renovation. Since then, I made a policy to find the best local breakfast diner any place I went, even if the hotel breakfast was included.

    Haven’t regretted it once.
