[quote=Anonymous]We are in same boat. When we visit, we stay with family, and a family member lends us a car, arranges to borrow car seats from their friends and other child equipment, we usually eat with relatives, so we are saving huge amounts on not needing a hotel, car rental, or eating out. I am always shocked when we go on other vacations how much those costs total. The airfare is a killer, an absolute killer. If we can use miles, we do. We have a credit card that adds miles for the particular airline we prefer, but it is more difficult these days to use miles. My husbands job sometimes takes him to our home country, so we always try to tie in a trip, and have been successful doing that often (I SAH so that helps with not needing vacation time), so my husbands ticket is paid for, and sometimes he takes one of our kids along just the two of them vs the entire family and that kid will hang with the grandparents during the trip getting spoiled and having fun.[/quote]
