[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]15 and 11 yo. Japan, s Korea, Taiwan, china, Thailand, Australia, uk, France, spain, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, turkey, Italy, Greece, Monaco, Canada, Vatican City, Indonesia. Mostly because we lived abroad when they were young. I don’t think the number of countries means anything. Going to Thailand and spending the whole time at a resort doesn’t really expand the mind as much as going to New Orleans or Boston and walking around the city and learning about their history. We have done a few trips to resort-y areas of se Asia, and when we stay at a resort only, it feels Disney-fied, even when you venture out on day trips. Kind of like going to Jamaica and just hanging out at the resort and going on a field trip to the waterfalls with other tourists. [/quote]

I don’t get people who go to another country and stay in a US hotel resort on the water with all vacationers, [b]mostly Americans[/b].

Our last trip was Puerto Rico and we rented a house in a residential neighborhood.   Shopped in the local grocery stores and small restaurants that was all local.   We actually stayed in the neighborhood Bad Bunny grew up, a working class neighborhood.

Even going to Paradise Island I had to rent a car to drive around. We went to grocery stores in the area and women would ask for money.   I always give money.  It won’t affect me in any way and it might help the women get what they need.   Our next trip is Spain.

Unfortunately the Ivy admissions skipped over our age group in the family.  Maybe next generation either that or it ended with the generation above my husband and me. And I thought almost every child was in the 99th percentile. No?

You do know Puerto Rico is an American territory and citizens are US citizens? So you stayed in a working class neighborhood of Americans. How exotic.

Then you are bragging about driving around the exotic Bahamas and giving money out to people? Offensive and weird.

Is the air thin on your soap box? Or does the level of smug emanating from your skin make it thick?[/quote]
