Yeah. I remember my parents getting a permit to vacation by the Black Sea like once. My grandfather went to Egypt once. The vacations even within the soviets were super scarce experiences and going to the west was only possible for a choir trip or something like that after being vetted by the kgb for your flight risk.

There were trips to leningrad or moscow but even those had years between them.

So yea, most vacations were helping out at grandparents farm. And reading books during rainy days.
