An exciting vacation would be to put out at sea with a few dozen of your compatriots on an oak sailing vessel (brig, cutter, sloop, bark, schooner, etc). The cargo manifest necessary to accommodate our modern existence would consist of the "saftey" of last-resort amenities like durable fiberglass lifeboats, a diesel propulsion engine, global communication access, fuel, emergency rations, and a quality water filtration system (easily recharged by activated charcoal) - but the shared adventure would be cooperation with the wind&stars to navigate the dominant surface area travel medium of Sol-3.
Manually hoisting the sails&anchor to participate in the traditional routines of the classical sailor would justify the communal protein-rich Feast at sunset. You would not need to drink alcohol all day to avoid the effects of water-borne illness (unless Challenge Accepted), nor face the pains of the commonly contracted vitamin-C deficient Scurvy of Yesterday.
The fellowship required to travel by sea via human labor&ingenuity would be far more pleasurable than the solitude of energy spent in a weight-lifting room of a hotel along the generic "beach-front resort" where conventional citizens Stay-For-A-Week-or-Three while encountering generic go-cart or water park "adventures" while consuming the "expensive" meals of a static location (prices set by the Absence-of-the-Fearful-Rent-Seeker).
