[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this whole thread is based on a flawed premise that people who are vacationing in places like rehobeth are doing so because they think it’s cheaper than Europe.  Most people I know that rent places in rehobeth do so after their annual or biannual Europe trip.  They rent the rehobeth house and work remotely and drive back for meetings while their kids go to the beach or go to Funland.  Or they are doing it to share rental cost with extended family.  I’m always shocked by how much rentals on eastern shore cost but I recognize they fit a very specific need for a specific type of “vacation.”

But there’s no way driving to western PA and staying jn some Hampton inn type places is more expensive than flying your family abroad and staying in comparable accommodations there.  Flying to someplace like California or Colorado using SWA get away fares and free companion passes also probably cheaper for a family of 4 for a trip of less than 2 weeks.

I feel like these threads always have a judgemental tone — you stupid rubes vacationing in the U.S. because you don’t know how cheap it is to go elsewhere.  But when you dig in, it’s easy to see why the “cheap” international travel doesn’t work for most American families who have limited vacation time, and only specific times when they can take it.

The attraction of Rehoboth is convenience / proximity. If proximity isn't a factor, Rehoboth isn't competing with Spain. The added cost of airfare is worth it to be spending 9 days in Andalucia vs. Bethany.[/quote]
