[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm routinely surprised at how much travel everyone seems to do - and how much it costs! I travel a lot for work, including internationally, but I don't have enough miles to take a family of four on multiple plane trips and hotel stays every year. Ski trips out west, the Carribean at the holidays, and Europe plus a beach trip during the summer...I have to assume that there's a lot of inherited wealth in DC, because a lot of my friends/neighbors/colleagues are living on USG or nonprofit salaries. I'm occasionally jealous but honestly I also work super hard and the last thing I want to do is use all my time off on the road.[/quote] It's not so much the money aspect that I can't wrap my head around; I've come to realize that people in this area sometimes just have a crap ton of money through various ways other than work (inheritance, family help, etc). What I can't always understand is how people have the time off to take these trips? If you're taking a week long Spring Break trip, and then a two week vacation in the summer, and then a two week ski vacation in the winter, peppered in with some long weekends throughout the year, how are these people able to take so much time off?[/quote]
