  Speaker 2: So it's Anchorage, New York City, Santa Barbara, California, Key West,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Florida clocking in over six thousand dollars. I know, Miami
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: at over six thousand, Hilo, Hawaii. See there's a let's

  Speaker 1: And I know I've told you this story before. I've
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: told it on the area. But one of the reasons
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: we went, remember we went to Dubai last year, the
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: family and I went to Dubai. Yeah, one of the
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: reasons we went to Dubai is because my wife is
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: really good at pricing trips and she was I think
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: I forgot some random city. I think she was looking
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: at Orlando originally, and Orlando with the whole family was
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: going to be like three thousand dollars, but then Dubai
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: was like twenty four hundred or something like that. Was
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: like cheaper to go to Dubai than Orlando. And that's
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: how you know, sometimes we take these fun trips and
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: you think, boy, they must be loaded. No, not really,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: we're just it's the cheaper option.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Well it's yeah, because the domestic flights too were so expensive.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Right now, Yeah, you feel like you could go to
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: another country if you're.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Able to pull it off exactly.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: So the most affordable US cities actually, Orlando, Florida is
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: on there.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Well yeah, it's still high though, but it's maybe more
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: affordable than New York.
• 2:50
