Long-Term Travel vs Vacations: Which is easier?

I have been weighing up the differences between long-term travel and shorter vacations.

That said, vacations are still great. Generally, you have more money to spend on a vacation than on long-term travel. We spent as much in two weeks vacationing as we would have in a month of long-term travel. Vacations are more indulgent too. You can have dessert every night and know it's only for a week so it's not such a big deal! And of course it certainly feels good to return home after a vacation to your own surroundings.

If you've done both long-term travel and vacations, which do you think are easier? Which do you like better?
