[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Probably not. And my travel is not occasional. If you aren't interested in having a global perspective, I'm not interested in you. It's not classist, it's about caring about the world around you. Oh, my last trips were India, China, and Egypt. I hope my daughter inherits the same love of people of the world, and not sitting on her couch collecting "things"[/quote] What makes you an elitist, classist jerk is the fact that you can't/won't see that lots of people can't afford to travel abroad. On this thread alone I've seen several people say they want to travel, but can't. Sorry, but the Delaware beach house comparison is ludicrous - at max you're paying $3,000, which is going to be less than the cost of hauling a family of four to Costa Rica, and then supporting them there for a week or two. And to the person who talked about $12 stays in Vietnam, how long ago was that, and would you really take your kids to the sort of places we all stayed in during college travel? At least multiply it by the number of people in your family, so you get $48. I've lived in Europe and travelled extensively in Asia, Central and South America. Some of this was on my own dime, and some of it was for work. If I ever start sounding like you, re people who can't AFFORD to travel as I have, please shoot me.[/quote]
