[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was the norm where I grew up. Caribbean for spring break, ski in the winter, beach house or Europe in the summer. I think social media and the internet has made this lifestyle more visible, and especially compounded with the anti-snob snobbery/pressure our generation puts on each other against owning material things (or maybe it’s anti-Boomer backlash), more people follow it and aspire to it since it’s a more socially acceptable way to spend your money.[/quote]

Honestly this seem like boring travel. If you’re just going to Europe and the Caribbean, you’re not very adventurous.[/quote]

Cool, did I say those are the only places I’ve ever gone? No, I said it was the norm where I grew up. As in, this circuit was normal and not unusual. To respond to the OP—

“When do you think it become the norm for people to travel so aggressively? I feel like everyone we know [b]travels for every school break[/b] and for long periods in the summer (like 2-3 weeks in [b]Europe[/b]). These aren’t small driving trips either. The families we know go from very expensive [b]ski vacations[/b] (have you ever added up the cost of flights, lodging, lift tickets, gear rentals, etc. for family of 4-5 to ski for a week in CO or UT? It’s nuts) in the winter to luxury beach vacations in the [b]Caribbean for spring break[/b]. Or, if they want to “mix it up,” they’ll do Costa Rica for spring break and an African safari for their summer trip.

Get it now? I guarantee I’ve done more interesting travel than you.[/quote]

Well, that struck quite the nerve.[/quote]
