[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only Canada, Spain and soon England, for mine. Very few people in our orbit travel overseas on a regular basis, so we try to keep even these few trips on the down low. [/quote]

You are embarrassed that you are (extremely limitedly) showing your kids the world?  I’d find a new orbit.[/quote]

My orbit’s great. But the amount of money that it costs to take these trips is completely out of reach for the vast majority of people. My kids know that travel is special, not something to take for granted. We would not do well in crowds trying to one-up each other with their lavish vacations, but great if that works for you.

How sad for you and your children. Your attempt at a dig in your last sentence is ironic — you would fit in very well, actually.[/quote]

Huh? I honestly don’t understand what is sad for my kids. We take fun trips, they love traveling. It’s not a secret or anything, but they would probably not ask friends “how many other countries have you been to?” because the answer from most of them would be zero. For me, I don’t talk about where we go on vacation with my coworkers, because the vast majority of them can’t afford to go overseas. It’s just basic humility. Some of you all are really out of touch.

My flight to Costa Rica was likely less than you spend on gas a week.[/quote]

You flew to Costa Rica for under $50?[/quote]

Flights to Costa Rica can be $99. [/quote]

Sooo… double what I spend on gas per week. But sounds reasonable, for sure. I guess I am a bad parent for not taking my kids to Costa Rica.[/quote]
