[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I generally love this forum but this is the kind of question that brings out the absurd privilege and lack of connection to the real world that many of the posters on this thread have.  We take 2-5 vacations a year but I consider us extremely privileged.  I grew up with one vacation per year, which was always a driving destination with camping or something in the motel 6 range.  That’s how most people live.  
Your sister is entitled to want more than she has—most of us do—but she’s ridiculous if she doesn’t appreciate how much she already has.  [/quote

Ah, you are right. We take 8-10 trips a year, but DH and I are making up for lost time because we took ZERO as children. And, I didn't think about this privilege until recently when we were traveling and someone casually asked us where we've traveled.  The person said they were waiting their entire lives to be able to visit at least one Caribbean country, and then it hit me that most people can't afford any travel.[/quote]
