Summer Vacation: Never Mind The Hike. Where's The Hammock?

The Canadian Press, 21 Jun, 2017 12:10 PM
  • Summer Vacation: Never Mind The Hike. Where's The Hammock?
Never mind the hike. Where's the hammock?
 
A new poll about summer travel finds that the top thing Americans want to do on vacation is ... nothing.
 
The survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that resting and relaxing is very or extremely important to three-fourths of Americans on vacation.
 
But the poll also found that staying home and doing nothing isn't ideal either. Most people want a change of scenery. More than half said relaxing at home doesn't count as a real vacation.
 
How about unplugging?
 
Only 22 per cent "completely disconnect" while on vacation. A third don't even try to get away from the internet and social media. Some of those polled — 42 per cent — say they dial back their time online a little.
