[quote=Anonymous]We did that for the first time every last year. Oh god, the real habits of people shows. Overall, we ignore the bad stuff that happened and made it memorable. Will we do it again? no one has mentioned it. We ended up with 4 more more people than we anticipated.

1.  Keep kids who tend to whine, cry and fussy away from the others, isolate them. Give that family their own room and bathroom if possible. You don't want to hear crying at night.

2. I hope everyone knows one another habits. There are always at least 1 person that is all about him/her. Always one person that tend to take the most time in the bathroom, in the middle of the night, late to the gathering, late to get into the car, can not follow directions or be on time, and complaining about something every day. I would isolate this person too. Meaning, get this person their own bathroom. 
Flexible personality can share bathrooms, difficult ones are not fun to deal with so might as well give them their own bathroom.

3. Food/eating was our major gathering. Everyone did not wake or sleep at the same time so breakfast was not always at the 7am, 8am or 9am. Some were at 10am when food was nearly all gone. Not everyone have the same taste bud. Figure out who will cook for that meal for the day.  They can either cook or order take out. Don't over buy from Costco. Don't cook more than what others will eat. Divy up the cooking, and cleanup.

4. Give people enough warning about going out to the beach, or an outing.

5. If your family is like mine, they will not pay until the last minute, so you are left to deal with the payments and if you have a constraints, you will be complaining.  So, most importantly, get everyone to pay first, like now.  Someone will always count to the pennies and pay the week before.
