Going to Hawaii now after Lahaina and when they’re evacuating the Yellowknife territories for fire is certainly a choice. |

Love this thread but it also makes me curious about whether posters are single, couples (and what age/stage in life), families with kids what ages, etc.
We are a family of four with kids age 13 and 10 and between all four schedules and two working parents, finding time in the schedule to travel and then the budget to do it is tough! Love all the travel inspiration, though. |

10:17 today here (CA, HI, VA). We are a family of 3. DD attends a small private (we don't live in the DMV anymore) and has great breaks (1 week in the fall, 2 weeks for spring break). We are using a number of airline/hotel points for those upcoming trips. Plus the extended family one my uncle pays for the house. We're obviously very fortunate in many ways. We couldn't travel this much when we lived in DC as general life and DD's LD school was too expensive. |

Agree -it's an interesting thread, not only in terms of travel destinations mentioned, but also who's traveling and why. Count me in the empty nesters category. We no longer have to plan around kids' school or sports schedules and we are at a point where we have the finances and flexibility in our work schedule to travel quite a bit. My husband was a Peace Corps volunteer and has traveled frequently for work, so he's up for adventurous traveling, both in terms of destinations and activities. I like to travel to see family and friends. No matter where they live or where we can meet up, I can always find something fun and interesting to do or see, especially if there's a place to hike, a beach to walk, a bookstore to browse, an art museum or gallery to visit, or music to hear. What we're not interested in: luxury hotels (DH has been there done that for work and we're kind of over it), spas (zzzz. . . .), and checking destinations off the bucket -- or other -- list. For those interested in more reflections on the why -- or why not -- of travel, you might enjoy Ross Douthat's recent NYT piece "The Case For Tourism" (one of the rare times I completely agree with Douthat) and the Agnes Callard's New Yorker piece he comments on "The Case Against Travel". Sorry not to provide links; you'll have to find your way past the pay wall. |

Family of 4 with kids ages 12 and 14 with 2 full time working parents. When it comes to our budget we definitely prioritize travel and cut back in other ways (don't have cable, no luxury cars, don't eat a lot, bring lunch to work vs eating lunch out) in order to travel. We also pick mid range accommodation over luxury. Probably spend 15-20K/year on travel. Typically 1 week at spring break and 1.5-2 weeks in summer. Next 3 big trips: Spring Break 2024- Skiing in Colorado Summer 2024- British Columbia Spring Break 2025- Nicaragua- only because with the later spring break we can't go skiing In between- weekend trips to ski or visit family in New England |
