I just checked expedia for tickets from Washington to Sao Paolo leaving tomorrow.  You know, in the summer, when most people can take a week or two off.  Because who goes to Brazil for 3 days over Thanksgiving, unless you mean we should pull our kids out of school.

The tickets started at $1,382 per person ($5,500 for a family of 4) and that's with a stop in Miami.  [/quote]

Doing price comparisons based on leaving tomorrow isn't quite fair since airlines jack up the prices shortly before the departure date... and most people don't plan their vacation on a days' notice. For my search (I'm the PP who used the Costa Rica example), I picked a week in April since that's far in advance but also likely to correspond with school breaks for the children.

Don't get me wrong -- indeed taking a vacation, wherever it may be, is expensive and surely other priorities come first. The point I was trying to make (not that you were disagreeing, but seems like others were) is that a domestic vacation versus a trip abroad may not be drastically different in price if planned well.[/quote]

Some people prefer to spend time vacationing not traveling.  Most who I know that are just too cool like you have never been poor as dirt.  It's like the school community service trips that cost 2 to 4 grand.  I hate these frigging families who scoot all about then apply for financial aid.   Had years of it at xxx school.[/quote]
