[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The rich are richer today. [/quote] Yup- more disposable income among the top 10%, and travel (especially the flying part) is cheaper (accounting for inflation) and easier (more flights to more destinations) than it was 30-35 years ago [/quote] Exactly this and once it's a "norm" it doesn't sound or feel crazy. We look at it as "where should we go for spring break" vs the default being to stay home. I say this as someone whose destinations are less exotic than the OP but we usually go somewhere. Also with early DINK/yuppie years and incomes, we got used to travel as a norm, and want to continue with kids. My parents did not have the $ or practice of doing that and they had kids younger. It's like eating out - we were comfortably UMC but rarely ate in a restaurant and almost never got takeout, let alone delivery. Now it's part of our MO.[/quote]
