[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Haven't read all the PPs, but we're in Chevy Chase and joke that there is a 3-vacation minimum -- a ski trip, a Carribean trip, a non-beach international trip -- plus a beach house for summer.[/b] My sibling in NY follows this as well even though they can't really afford it. My family is lucky to have a beach house (a shared family place) but the rest of our trips are to see family.

Fwiw I think the disparity bothers me more than them. My middle school kid's best friend routinely goes to exotic (awesome!) destinations - total lifestyles of the rich and famous stuff. Doesn't bother my kid at all that he hasn't been any of these places. I hope we can swing a few overseas trips when he's in HS.[/quote]

I think this is true IME.

We like to travel and we do it as much as we can (4 weeks a year) but I always feel "less than" because we can't afford to do 4 trips a year and stay at top of the line resorts. So we do an AI in St. Lucia for 10k for the week but not Sugar Beach for 20k. And so on.

I'm envious of the times who do top of the lines resorts all 4 breaks plus a long European trip in the summer. Plus they have a beach house. That's the life I want.[/quote]
