What's Your Perfect Type of Vacation?

Throughout my life, I've jumped at nearly every travel opportunity that's presented itself. That means traveling with various combinations of friends or family to tons of places around the world, for various amounts of time. Just as the destinations I've traveled to are unique, I've also noticed that the different people I've traveled with have just as diverse ideas about how the trip will be organized.
Sometimes I'll travel to an all inclusive and just relax all week, making very few plans. Those types of trips are very relaxing. Other times, I'll have a strict itinerary of sightseeing nearly everyday of the trip. This style of travel can get exhausting but I wouldn't trade is the amazing things I've seen around the world for anything.
Different travelers prefer different styles of traveling. Which type do you like?
Conflicts can definitely arise when two people disagree on how they would like to spend their vacation together. Not too long ago I was on a trip with a friend who wanted to see 12 days worth of landmarks in just seven days whereas I just wanted to relax and visit a few at a leisurely pace. We eventually met on common ground but we were both slightly frustrated with each other at times.
