How far away from home do you send your Sims?
Sul sul, everybody. It's time for my very first poll! We now have enough expansion packs that we can send our Sims to all kinds of cool places. They can grab a cup of coffee at a cafe in WIndenbu...

I don't have all the packs, so I don't have as many options as I/my sims would like. ;) I've been playing in Willow Creek and Oasis Springs, and have just started playing in San Myshuno. Since my current sims are mostly steeped in the mundane world, I mostly send them off to Exotic Destinations, such as Sulani, Mt K, and the Ultimate Exotic Destination: Batuu. I have a few sims living in Mt K but they haven't been sent anywhere on vacation. I would probably send them to someplace warm like Sulani or Batuu. I haven't considered sending anyone to Forgotten Hollow or the magic world - they are too small for me to give up a house for a rental.
I wouldn't send them to any of the "regular" worlds (OS, WC, etc) for vacation because there isn't anything special for them to do there in my game. I don't consider having my sim walk around in Oasis Springs looking at the desert as being that special, although I see an awful lot of Sulani residents there! :D I might send someone to San Myshuno so they could go to some of the festivals, but I hadn't thought about it because I haven't had that pack for very long.
I just remembered, I have sent a couple of people to Willow Creek and to Britechester, because they needed to use the Museum, the Library, the Gym, and a place I've set up with skill items in BC. But I don't count those as vacations since they were only there to fulfil an aspiration or grind away at a skill. I'll send them wherever they need to go for those reasons without even thinking about it, but not as a "fun" destination.
We'll have to see how Cottage Living plays; I might have someone vacation there sometime, and I know those residents could definitely go to Sulani, Mt K or Batuu, and maybe San Myshuno, in order to see the Big City.
Still, the idea has now been put in my head. Maybe I'll start sending people to the Spa or something, just to be pampered...
Edited to add: Well, darn, I misunderstood part of the original post. I was thinking only about Vacations, since I don't think about my sim Worlds as being that separate (except for Batuu, and IL). Basically, I send them where I need to, but I don't think of it as really traveling, since I'm sending the poor simmies off to grind away at a skill. They rarely get to sightsee, and when they do I send them on vacation.
