Why is it completely out of line to suggest you save up for it? If you really want to do it, refrain from spending on other things. Otherwise, you're just bitching that not having infinite resources means there are some things you don't get handed to you on a silver platter.
Another thing you can do--get a job that involves a lot of travel. Consider that a perq, like insurance, high pay, whatever.. To some (people with kids in musiic or sports), that's a negative. I once had to cut short a week off to fly to a client in Germany, but I had decided that lots of travel was my goal and was willing to forgo the ease of planning vacations to get it. Many times my work covered two weeks, so I had a weekend to myself in interesting places, with hotel and plane tickets covered.
