I read an article in Travel and Leisure that stated the average cost of a 1 week vacation was $2,000 per person per week. Aspen CO came in at something like $5,400 per person per week.
I really haven’t thought about how much we spend vacationing each year. Owning timeshare, it’s a yearly expense and we just book and go. The only time I’ve thought about it has been with the cruise we’re going on soon, and that’s amazed me at how expensive cruising has become with all the extras like, specialty dining, drink cards, shore excursions et….
Maybe I’ll sit down some day and figure out how much we spend, but I doubt it. We bought timeshare to assure we take time off each year, travel and see the country/world. It’s been a priority for us.
Reading that article I understand why so many young families rarely travel. Most I know are lucky if they drive over to Branson, MO for a long weekend.
