    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.

            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.

    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.

      That was how I learned Boston has no good breakfast spots.

      Also the hotel only served breakfast on certain days of the week? What the fuck is that about. But they gave me a free glass of wine when I got back to the hotel one night.

          Italy vs. Germany. The only occasion where Germany wins against Italy when it comes to food. But Turkey is where the real breakfast kings reside.

            Hold up- did you just say German food is better than Italian? I have never once in my life seen a German restaurant. Italian restaurants are all over the place

            Edit: apologies. I misread and that you said “is when it comes to food”. Sounds like I need to try me some German breakfast.

              German breakfast is good, but it isn’t the greates breakfast on earth. But Italian breakfast is terrible. It is basically coffee and some sweet pastry.

                IDK I might be biased but what you described sounds like heaven.

                Meanwhile Germans fry sausages at every occasion, call that cuisine, and yet aren’t event the best in Europe at doing that.

          Yes, but many big hotel chains have a buffet style breakfast that does not only include typical local food. For instance in France a local breakfast would be bread, croissant or other pastries, and a coffee, but you would also find scrambled eggs, bacon, cereal, etc.

          Smaller hotels will be more local though yes.

        I don’t know what hotels you go to but my experience has been pretty mid across most of Europe. Bog-standard continental breakfast buffets. Croissants, orange juice, cereal, toast, all of mediocre quality.

        Not terrible as it is, but you can likely get infinitely better breakfast by hopping over to any cafe across the street.

          I’ve been to Sweden a couple times, and the real food they serve in hotels or cafeterias versus the industrial processed eating product that we usually have in the US really puts us to shame.

          But that goes for many aspects of the culture. The whole, you know, respect other humans thing.

        Can confirm, been to hotels all over Europe, even the fancy a la carte ones are fairly shitty if you dont need breakfast like a normie morning person.
