[quote=Anonymous]I often feel travel jealousy, but find that it dissipates the second we actual take any kind of vacation. It doesn't have to be a super expensive vacation to a far-flung destination. We could rent a house with a pool an hour away and spend a long weekend relaxing, and I find that I suddenly don't care about what fancy vacation some other family is taking.

Something I always consider is that I'd rather be doing whatever it is I'm doing with my spouse and DC than doing something really amazing with someone else's family. So, for example, I have always wanted to do a safari in Africa and I always feel soooo jealous whenever anyone I know goes. I play it cool and ask them questions and don't let on, but it's something I've wanted to do since I was a kid and just have not found the timing and finances to make it work yet. But something that helps me a lot is asking whether I'd rather be on a safari with my friend's DH and my friend's kids, or at home with my own family. The answer is always at home with my family. It helps put in perspective what I truly value.

We're going to make that safari happen, though. Maybe for my 50th. [/quote]
