1 Answer

Answer :

answer:To me, having $5,000 for a vacation is like living like a crazed millionaire. I live in Europe. If I had $5,000 I would NOT stay in town at 64 degrees north. I could have a week or two weeks in Malta or the South of France with change left over. Or Croatia. Or Tunisia. It would cover airfare and swanky hotel accommodation, easy. I would go alone. (sorry Little Man, but mommy needs a break)
