... I play Game Boy quite a bit when we go on beach vacations... which is every summer... :)
I don't hate beach (and I mean on the ocean, not lakes... we don't go to lakes for vacation) vacations, but you can only be in the water for so long (even taking it for granted that you went somewhere with relatively warm water)... and I don't love swimming. Being in the water is dull unless other people are there too do do things with (our yearly vacations are always with some relatives, but even so...). I don't love swimming. And really, you don't SWIM much in the ocean. You stand in the water and stuff, but don't swim that much unless there are no waves, I'd say.
As for lakes, I got sick once after swimming in a lake in Europe in our trip when I was eight. And I haven't swam in a lake since, I believe. :D
And I mention camping because we also do that with relative frequency. Maybe other people here don't, but we have and you sometimes don't have any power around except the car... tent camping. Not a trailer.
A car adapter would be an absolute necessity for vacations, for sure, for anything that drained batteries fast or didn't use normal batteries. I know that my Game Boy was always a great thing to have on the vacations we took after I got it... got a lot of playtime out of car trips and stuff on them...
