alt Hacker NewsGoogling it, looks like the trip costs around $6.5k for 2 people for a week. Expensive, but not out of reach for most Americans.
I mean we're on HN... if anything we're more likely to be in a wealthy bubble here. On average. There's plenty outside Silicon Valley but this place is a bubble too.

That's definitely out of reach of most Americans. I live in rural America, and am pretty active in my community. I can thing of 2 or 3 couples besides myself who could make a trip like that reality. We are all remote-workers working in software.

Uhhhhh yeah that's out of reach for a huge fraction of Americans, probably 80%.

I would suggest most Americans and most people on HN have a tremendous amount of privilege, do they not?
The US doesn't mandate any vacation or sick leave days, so a huge chunk of the population can't even get a week off work, much less afford $4k per person.
