Yes, my DH wouldn't like it if I went out w.o. my wedding set. I'm not a fan, either, since I want to look as "off the market" as I am!
I don't sleep in mine. I sleep with my hands under my face and have had an indention a few too many times 
It really hurts, and it isn't cute... I wash bottles all the freakin time too, so I usually take it off for that too. Other then that, I keep my wedding ring on! And yes, I travel with it on too.

This is what I do. Only rarely will I wear just my wedding band if I am afraid something might happen to my e-ring.
I take all of my jewelry off when I get home...I can't stand wearing it, but have to have it on in public. I'm strange, I know! 
I even forget to wear my set sometimes.

i take mine off as soon as i walk in the door.
and i never wear it to the gym or if i'm running a few quick errands.
i have taken it with us when we travel but sometimes i do leave it at home on certain trips and just wear a simple (no diamonds) band. since you're vacation sounds like an active one i would leave it in a safe place at home.

I leave mine on probably 90% of the time... take them off just for gardening/dishes etc. I'm not worried about getting them grungy or dirty - I looove wearing them and they WILL come clean! 
But I don't want to risk damages. I've had some bad luck lately - lost one stone from my delicate eternity wedding band carrying big Williams Sonoma bags and then took my E-ring off to do gardening etc and it has disappeared. 
When I first got it I was paranoid about EVERYTHING damaging it/scratching it/hurting it... but what fun is it to have it if you don't wear it? It took me a few months of wanting it to stay shiny and new like yours until I realized a quick stop at the jewelers would make it look new again anyway. And I love looking/feeling married too! (plus Dh would hate it if I didn't wear them... he's not thrilled with me for taking the first one off and having it stolen!) I wouldn't wear it camping though.
My jeweler told me "the safest place for your ring is on your finger" and I tend to agree with him now!! It might get dirty but it won't get lost!!

I have only had mine a few weeks but so far I only take it off to shower. I wouldn't even do that, except it's a little big and I've been wearing a plastic snuggie sizer and the soap gets all over it. Once I get the ring resized and it's not so loose, I don't see myself taking it off much at all- only for really messy cooking tasks, like mixing meatloaf or kneading bread dough because it's so hard to clean that off.
Me and my girl never take off our rings. But am planning to gift my wife a new ring that looks awesome. Well i found it on http://www.diamondexotica.com Posting the pic of ring. but the previous one is three stone this one is single stone.diamondexotica.com/inner_page_images/engagement_special/solitaire_ring/ES1001.jpg

I often don't wear my wedding set. I usually forget since I rarely wear it in the house. I go out and forget to put them on.
Sometimes I just wear a thick (12mm) YG band, (I love wide rings) that has 'some' sentimental value -- though it isn't the ring I was married in, I used to travel all over the country when first married and often in bad neighborhoods and bought it to wear when I wouldn't wear a diamond. I wore this band.
My original wedding band doesn't fit over my big old lady knuckle any more and it is a design that cannot be resized. It has diamonds, too so again, I didn't wear it in bad areas of cities in which I was staying. Oh - BTW this was for work, not sightseeing, LOL.
I do love the wide gold band and DH honestly doesn't care what I wear... (sounds weird, I know).
I'll never sell my original E-diamond, but did reset it after about 8 years of marriage (13 years ago) if I reset again, I will 'always' use my original diamond...
