Yeah, I'm not sure if people always did this or I'm just more aware of it with Facebook, but holy crap are people every mortgaging their futures for a couple weeks in a tropical vacation on a way-too frequent basis. Cheap-ass Mexico is one thing, but that's not where people are going.
Time off from work spent with family/friends relaxing in town or even a snowboarding vacation or something in Banff is basically as therapeutic as a $10,000 vacation to somewhere warmer. We are not all entitled to a visit to the tropics, people. If you're rich or come from family money, have at it. But if you're slogging away in your 9 to 5 I'm sorry, you can't afford the thousands a year to treat the world as your playground.
