I can't imagine spending $7,000 for a week.

I'm sure you can - that's about what a Disney Cruise costs, DisneySteve
I think people used an unfair "Avoiding the Question" Card when people said take a 2K vacation and pocket the 5K.
How about this choice that many Americans face?
At the end of the year, after maxing their Roths and 401(k)'s, your family has $2000 left over.
Do you vacation or earmark it for college?
Again, a very real scenario. I mean. . .I take $0 vacations all the time. It's called taking a week off from work, going to the NJ beach a couple times (free ones, LOL) and puttering around the house.
I say go for college. . .on this website the other day you saw students apparently protesting rising tuition (I wonder if this was Canada). To think that a student is going to be able to fully fund a $125,000 education on part-time work, scholarships and loans I think is burying your head in the sand.
I guess I just don't have the Travel Bug that most people have, much to my DW's chagrin.
How about this - I ship them off to Disney for a week, save on 1 plane ticket, disney tickets, and meals and I get to lay around the house in boxer shorts, eating buffalo wings and drinking beer - now that's a vacation!!!
