My wife hates the fact that "I don't like to relax"
She'd be happy at an all-inclusive resort ... but after a day, they drive me nuts. If I can find a friend who has a place abroad with a "simple" repair and I get the place for a week, I much prefer that. If they stick around to show me the place/city/town ... that's a bonus!!!
Hahaha, me and my wife are like the opposite of you guys when on holiday. I am happy lying by a beach and she always wants to do stuff!! Although maybe not buildy type stuff!
