I understand. That's what I thought you were saying. No harm done. Your parents did exactly what I was talking about. They managed their budget so they could get away with their family for a nice vacation. And they did what many Pittsburghers do, they went to Myrtle Beach on many of their vacations. That's the kind of people I was referring to.
Yes, Myrtle Beach is a popular Pittsburgh vacation spot. Sad part is I still drive North to visit at least every other year if not every year. Holds a lot of good memories and no beach in Florida has the kind of places Myrtle Beach has. My dad took a golf trip ever year. He ran the trip so it was free for him. He also sometimes got invited back down at the end of summer at the hotel he used. So he would always bring us and pay for a couple extra days. I remember meeting kids my age on the beach and them saying how fancy the hotel was I was staying at and how their hotel was not. I was clueless since my parents were not fancy people. My dad was a blue collar worker. But I now know at the time it was one of the top tier hotels, but half the trip was free and the other half was heavily discounted. So my parents easily could afford it. Anyway, this got way sidetracked into my memories.
Back to price raises and how the parks really love money, our money
