I think the author means exactly that type of vacation feels boring. I know it is strange, but some people feel best when working towards a goal, it is like a drug I guess. If I go on such vacation, then yes - if it is packed with activities this makes thing better, BUT if you have a small child like me, then you cant do much to exert you energy except doing chores and things I am not good at and I get a bit restless. If however I manage to work just for 2 hours on something I become a whole different man after that and I can enjoy my vacation better. I realise that I might be boring to other people by doing so, but learned to accept this.

You can’t watch TV all day if you are climbing of a mountain with your ice axes locked in thinking where to place your foot next. For obvious reasons.
