[quote=Anonymous]I've never used Air BnB, but I have traveled with family and stayed in vacation rentals plenty of times, using VRBO, Homeaway, Gites de France, etc. I've only booked through an actual agency once or twice (they are usually a lot more expensive).

My family is usually on a strict budget, too. Some of the travel discussions here on DCUM remind me of the old "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous," because many posters have a lot more travel cash than I do. More power to 'em.

You can find perfectly nice, even absolutely charming, places to stay in Western Europe for far cheaper than what the Hampton Inn - Residence Inn - No Name In places charge when we travel for family obligations.

But yes, the airfare is the hurdle. Once you've got that covered, and you're willing to do "self-catering" (ie eat in more than out so you're grocery shopping, cooking, and cleaning up afterwards) you can probably put together a great trip for less than you spend in the US. We do it all the time.

Good luck![/quote]
