The trips are "elective" I'm certainly assuming.

We are "un"-electing our "educational" trips in favor of family trips, though we could probably afford both $$-wise.

I'd rather take my own kids on great trips than pay my kids' music teachers and a few other parents to do so.

As a person who used to make his living playing in jazz bands, I grew quite weary of the exotic destination 'jazz festival' con and exotic destination 'cruise ship' con...making almost as much money as we would have if we had stayed in town...or coming home about a 1/2$K short if we brought our spouses" S.
