[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Domestic travel just isn't that much cheaper. [/quote] True. But when I was growing up on a middle class income even domestic travel was unusual. UMC DC families take 2-3 trips a year that would be “once in a lifetime” trips for median income families. [/quote] Agree- I grew up very middle class in the Midwest and even something like Disney (which wasn't nearly as expensive as it is now), the Grand Canyon, or a beach trip to the Carolinas was kind of a big deal and certianly not something you did every year. This area is just wealthier, period. But FWIW maybe it's just our neighborhood/friend circle but I don't know anyone who is taking 2-3 big trips per year, who has the leave for that anyway?? Our families aren't local so we always need to devote some of our time off to seeing them. [/quote]
