Here in Los Angeles, summer vacation means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. For some, it's a five-week trip to Mallorca, Spain; for others, it's a long weekend at a campsite in Malibu. Some of us save up all year for a big, luxurious getaway; others devise strategies to minimize costs. According to a recent NerdWallet survey, 20% of Americans go into debt to finance the trip.
To help The LA Times explore the many ways Angelenos are vacationing, we asked our readers to share details about their summer 2024 trips. We want to know where you went and how much you spent on transportation, food, lodging and souvenirs. We also hope you’ll tell us if those expenses were worth it for you and your family.
And we'd love to see a photo from your trip too!
