Thanks, everyone! Yes, my next vacation can't be so intensive. I told hubby it was overwhelming in a few ways. First, we did an incredible amount of exercise almost every day, something I wasn't used to for a long time. Second, it was like information (visual/auditory) overload and traveling every day with few down periods. Lastly, hubby forced me to visit a real estate agent as an exploration to possibly moving there. That was a triggering thought, and one that led me to request we not do it. Hubby forced it anyway. I thought we'd see the agent for two hours, but it turned into half a day in his office and almost a full next day looking at houses.

Nowadays I do prefer vacations with a lot less going on, plus down time. I also like opportunities for a little alone time. Though most of the vacation was "paid" for with credit card points, enough wasn't to make my frugal self quite nervous.
