It was a magical place where several million people live and do basically the same stuff we do but the default food options would be considered ethnic here! And struggling low caste local service workers I tipped treated me like gold!”[/quote]

We get it---you don't like to travel.  So don't travel.  Your loss, and our gain because it's one less person (I doubt you have family) traveling.

it's just too much of the same thing yet it's pandered to be something different each time and it seems extravagant if you are going on trips every month or so. It's just much more interesting to hear someone's once or twice a year travel for their family because you are actually excited for them to get away compared to someone's monthly travel. People need vacations but especially if you are still in prime adult years you don't need to be going far away every 3-day weekend for a break. Or if you do, find others who want to discuss that level of travel.[/quote]

Once again, we get it.  You sound really jealous!  If you don't want to take a 3 day weekend every month, don't do it.  Personally we are approaching retirement at early 50s.  We already take 2-3 trips to Hawaii each year (6 hour flights for us) for 5-6 days, usually tied into a long weekend (so less vacation days needed).  We love it, great way to relax and just have fun.  
Our friends love to hear about our travels, just like we love to hear about their travels or hobbies/activities.
