    When i read extravagant trips, i expected to go to some Carribean Islands, or hiking in Nepal or something like that. Going to some Plastic corporate identity hellhole does not seem extravagant to me, although it is probably much more expensive in terms of Costs/Experience.

      Going to a tropical island isn’t extravagant, it’s just expensive. Extravagant is spending a lot of money on something that isn’t worth it, like Disney World.

        2 weeks on Bali for 2 cost grand total $3,400, including everything. And we were splurging. That’s far less than 2 weeks at Disneyland. That is absolutely ridiculous to me.

          And I assume you stayed at a nice hotel. There’s absolutely cheaper tropical destinations and alternatives to nice hotels if you just want the tropical beach life. We spent far less than 3k during 1 month in Thailand.

            Absolutely. Just wonderful little inns with gorgeous views. Locally owned places of course.

      Funny how it’s all about perspective. For me, going to a Caribbean island was a short flight away. Extravagant meant going to Europe for 2 weeks. Also Disney World
