A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Going to a tropical island isn't extravagant, it's just expensive. Extravagant is spending a lot of money on something that isn't worth it, like Disney World.
2 weeks on Bali for 2 cost grand total $3,400, including everything. And we were splurging. That's far less than 2 weeks at Disneyland. That is absolutely ridiculous to me.
And I assume you stayed at a nice hotel. There's absolutely cheaper tropical destinations and alternatives to nice hotels if you just want the tropical beach life. We spent far less than 3k during 1 month in Thailand.
Absolutely. Just wonderful little inns with gorgeous views. Locally owned places of course.
