[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean. What were you going to do there as a family? Buy gold bars from a vending machine  and stay at a 7 star hotel?

DP, not rich, but my kids absolutely loved Dubai.[/quote]

lol. “Not rich” by DCUM standards…your kids have been to Dubai. You are plenty rich.  :roll: [/quote]

DP here. A lot of people have stops in Dubai on the way to Asia or Africa.

Sometimes you can get a longer layover and get a chance to get a hotel and visit Dubai for a day or two. I wouldn't classify these people as rich. I took several of these trips with my Mom growing up, but they were the only times I traveled as a kid and they were spaced every few years as it took a lot of saving. Costs once we got to our destination weren't much as we always stayed with various family members for the summer.[/quote]

I grew up actual middle class. Not DCUM “not rich.” I was an adult the first time I flew and it wasn’t with my family. We never flew anywhere was a family and never took more than 1 driving vacation a year. [/quote]

PP here. Come on, you don't know my story and I don't know yours. Don't discount other peoples experiences.

When I say we weren't rich, we weren't. We didn't take any driving vacations any years, except once to Niagara Falls. We got pizza a couple times a month, but that was it. Clipped coupons, shopped at several stores each week to get what was on sale from each store. When I say we saved to take those trips, I mean we saved. My parents had 15 siblings overseas along with two remaining parents and made it a priority that we got to visit with them every few years. That doesn't mean we were rich. [/quote]
