[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That sounds like our schedule - minus we don't get a week in February - usually 5 days.  We travel some long weekends and not others.

Is her compliant about frequency or location? I am not sure we could do much more. . . I get tired and looking forward to home time after travel with kids![/quote]

Both. Her DH does prefer going to the same places (hence they go skiing, to the Caribbean, and the beach every year). I think they do a thing where he picks a destination, then she picks, etc. and he always picks the same places which she finds frustrating. But she also wants a sixth week long vacation in the fall - I think she wants to time it with the Jewish High Holidays. We’re not Jewish but in NY you get those days off from school.

Anyway, my attempts to tell her that if your problem in life is that your DH is too cheap to pay for a SIXTH annual vacation, your life is not that bad, etc. fell on deaf ears.

I’m surprised by all the people saying this is a normal, even “boring” amount of travel![/quote]

Well to be fair, if he gets to pick 3 places each year and she only gets 2, I can see why she’s put out and wants one more. That’s only fair. Especially if he always opts for the same boring places each year.[/quote]

New poster here. 
That's what I was thinking after I read the OP.   While it is several weeks of vacation, it sounds like there's little variety.   I'd be bored going "to the beach" every year.   Or the Caribbean. 
If I could afford it (and it sounds like they can) I'd mix it up with destinations in South America or Africa.[/quote]

I would assume this is her problem with the schedule as well but we don’t know the ages of the kids.

If they’re really little then Disney and the beach make more sense.[/quote]
