-having someone else clean the bathroom

I love meeting the people!

All travel has its advantages. If the passenger visits better countries, he may learn to improve his own. And if fortune carries him to worse, he may learn to enjoy it.
Samuel Johnson

ALL of the above, with the exception of the 1st one (make you relax) There is nothing relaxing about a rrip with me. People are more tired when they get back and need to go on a relaxing vacation without me!

Great hotels, eating out at nice restaurants,(not having to cook any meals) sight seeing, shopping, relaxing by the pool,getting up when you want, interacting with the locals, no cell phone calls!

Learning. A broad category but learning about other places, people, things and even oneself is a wonderful way to pass the time.

learning about other cultures-trying different foods,and just being away. I find travel very educational.

All of the above. Also, it often makes you appreciate more what you have.

I second Dgunbug. . . . travelling gives you a great learning experience is every aspect, result is you end up thanking God for being so fortunate

dgunbug-I so agree with you. The first time we traveled overseas & put gas in a car-OUCH-sending postcards. We gripe here but when you travel you see how lucky you are. Happy Traveling all
