I live on the East Coast, my sister lives on the West Coast. We love to vacation out west, while my sister, loves to do Florida vacations. So we compromise. Kind of. Most of the time, I travel to the west. All of my other family members live out there so that is where we vacation most of the time.
Every once in a while, my sister gets the hankering to visit Florida and Walt Disney World. Since we live in New Jersey, this is some what closer for us, but still can be expensive to buy five airline tickets. Driving is an option, but then that takes up two days of valuable vacation time.
It is difficult for us to do more than one vacation a year, so it is either west or east. Tough decision!
