[quote=Anonymous] :twisted: [quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there is a lot of DCUM "snobbery" about travel to Mexico in general. This is a combination of rich white people racism and folks on this board being wealthier and/or better-traveled than your average American.

I've lived here almost 30 years. It takes a lot to impress the average DC area person when you're bragging about vacations.

I don't take people discussing vacations as "snobby" though, I enjoy hearing about people's experiences even if they can afford more than me. But I also have self-confidence and DGAF what others think which is clearly not something OP has mastered.[/quote]

You've misunderstood me--I don't really discuss my vacations with anyone unless we're traveling together. Nor do I post on social media. DH and I have found an AI that we really like, and when searching for threads on it on DCUM I saw that many DCUM users apparently feel that they are too good to go to AIs, period. That's not going to stop us from enjoying ours; however, the general level of snobbery was somewhat surprising. I can only assume they haven't visited our favorite place.[/quote]

Is it snobbery or merely preference? There are several things I prefer not to do on my vacation. I’m sure the next person would disagree with my list and have their own preferences.

As for AIs, I’m not interested in eating at the resort and we’re not big drinkers. I also am too restless and will probably just be there to sleep. An AI might not work for us. But, we always say we’ll try one someday so share your rec.[/quote]
