[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So jealous of some family that take 5 exclusive trips a year.  It is just too expensive for us.  We have kids and with the cost of college rising we just don't have enough.  And travel prices are so expensive now.  I don't know how people do it.  My husband and I both work tirelessly and still can't get by.  [/quote]

We traveled extensively with kids and did not save for college. Older is graduating from university this year with no debt due to the full scholarship, same plan for next kid. You don't have to travel expensively, there are plenty low cost locations in Asia, Africa and Europe. For example, skiing in Austria is much cheaper than skiing in West Virginia.[/quote]

Lies. You can’t even FLY to Austria for what I spend all-in for us to ski at Snowshoe. Who cares if you spend less once you are there. [/quote]

We flew first class ad stayed at the St. Regis in Miami fora week for almost the exact same amount as it would have cost to stay at the hotel closest to my in laws in OC MD.[/quote]

I believe you.  Decent hotels in Ocean City are insanely expensive in the summer.  While OC is fun in small doses, nosy am I paying over $600 per night for a hotel room there.  People like OC because it’s easy to get to.  Miami requires a flight and a little more work to get there.

For the Austria/Snowshoe comparison…the only way Austria might be cheaper than Snowshoe is if you travel alone.  If you have a family, airfare is going to eat up your money.  If you go solo, maybe it’s cheaper?  You would have to score a good airfare, stay at a moderate hotel in Innsbruck and I do believe that lift tix are cheaper in Europe than the U.S. [/quote]
