[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have seen vacations mentioned several times on this thread.  I'm genuinely curious:  What constitutes an "average vacation?"  How would you describe a fancy/luxurious vacation?[/quote]

At my kids' school, they have winter and spring breaks that are at least 2 weeks long to allow families to travel to Europe and other faraway places.  A few families have yachts so they "need" the extra sailing time.  Others have vacation homes or rentals in places like Jackson Hole, WY so they can spend the break skiing.  I could go on and on but going to Florida or Disney World is pedestrian for these families.[/quote]

So MOST families at your child's school take winter or spring break vacations to Europe?  Is this an international school or a regular private school?  Are they also flying by private jet?[/quote]

Yes, a lot do.  This is a regular private school.  It may be because one of the parents is European and they are going to their home country to visit family on holiday.  I don't know about the private jets but would not be surprised if some do.  My family does not live like this.  I was just giving examples of what I have observed and overheard.  Also, my kids are not preoccupied by wealth. [/quote]
