What was the vacation?

Greek islands. 30k all in airfare and hotel.

Alaskan cruise for five people. Maybe a bit over $20k with everything, but counting a couple excursions that were grandparents’ “treat.” Those probably would have added $3k

Sorry, NOT counting.

I really don't know.....and probably don't want to! My husband plans our international trips and he does a lot of research into top hotels at a reasonable cost. Since we fly first class (lie down seats) I know we must spend a lot. In cities we hire private tour guides, eat at very nice restaurants and when we drive in the country it's a MB or BMW.

We went for 2 weeks to Hawaii ( 3 different islands), three of us and paid 15K, that was back in 2006. I thought that was a lot of money, but the vacation was spectacular ( we booked it through travel agency and they arranged hotels/flights between islands for us).

In the late 90s, my grandparents took me and my cousins to London - we stayed in a penthouse double apartment at the Grosvenor House, ate at Mr. Chow’s and my grandfathers club.

It was probably $70k at the time.

Not sure of the final tab but probably a Baltic cruise that included St Petersburg, plus some time in Stockholm..

I guess Machu Picchu plus Galapagos was a lot too.

$40k for 4 of us, 2 weeks in Equador, one week in an Ecolodge in the rainforest, one week on a small boat touring the Galapagos Islands.

Bucket list trip and worth every penny (and no, that is not how much we usually spend on travel).

I am genuinely curious why you would post an answer when you have no answer to the question (amount) to provide.

Milestone anniversary trip to Italy in the $25k range for a family of four. Business class air, five-star hotels, yacht rental, private tours, Michelin meals. It was one to remember!

On a long flight, I once decided to pay an extra $142 for Economy Plus. Good times.

Then proceeded to drop $20,000 on three months of traveling through China - all of it. Worth every penny.
