So that being said, most would not spend $7k on vacation, but for many it's probably easily spent.
I like the finer things in life. I'm just to cheap to pay for them.

The most expensive vacation we've taken was our trip to California in 2005. We spent $5,500 total. That was a 2-week long trip. We flew to LA and rented a car. Drove to Anaheim and spent 5 days at Disneyland. Then drove up the coast and spent 4 days in San Francisco. Then 2 days in Sequoia National Park and then 4 days in Las Vegas and flew home from there. We did get the San Fran hotel free with Marriott points or the trip would have been a few hundred more.

We'd generally rather take 3 $2,000 trips than 1 $6,000 trip. Others prefer the less often but higher level trip. We prefer to travel more often on a budget.
