[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do Jewish private schools have a ski week? How are they traveling Feb?

And I so wish Christmas was not two weeks in December — that’s so much of my vacation time and it all goes to family and holidays. [/quote]

Many NYC area schools (public) have a February break. We used to be put on planes to go to Florida to visit our snowbird grandparents. It was very strange being in places like Cocoa Beach and running into four kids from school. [/quote]

Yeah the NYC area has a week in Feb plus the Jewish holidays off.  This seems like a lot of vacation to me - we take 2-3 trips a year most years (a week to ski, plus a two week trip in the summer).  THis seems like a lot but if they can afford it, I don't think it is "too much."  I have trouble figuring out how you'd fit in much more travel than this assuming the parents work and their kids are school age.  Also, if they live in the NYC area and are wealthy, they may be sending their kids to sleep away camp for 7 weeks each summer, which cuts down on opportunity for summer family trips.[/quote]
