    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.
