You're right. It's easy for me to hold this position, given that I'm without kids, without specific health problems, and live in the Netherlands where I have more than enough vacation days to spend.
Got one thing to add, that's not contradictorary to what you're saying but I just would like to share: I think we overvalue long distance holidays. People fly to the other side of the planet, but never visit beautiful places at 100km distance from home. We mistake the possibility of going very far away, for that being more desireable than going places relatively close by, which is not necesarilly the case. In saying this I don't want to begrudge anyone and I don't mean to say it's not a legitimate thing for someone to want to see certain parts of the world some day.
