[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always wonder why this appeals to people.  You still have to buy all those plane tickets and pay for all your meals and activities.  You're only getting a deal buy not paying for the hotel.  I know that can be significant but it comes with the cost that the working parents is tied up and pulled between work and family the whole time.  If I have an important meeting the last thing I want is to be sharing a hotel room with my kids the night before. [/quote]

PP that has tagged along my spouse's trips before. As I mentioned it really depends on the trip. My husband has an annual conference in a resort town not far from my parents. Twice we've gone the weekend before to visit my parents and then left the kids with them while I got to enjoy a luxury resort hotel. We had time before and after the conference to have a few nice meals and hang out.

Once my husband had a work trip to Orlando and they booked him a condo at a timeshare resort near Disney. The condo had a full kitchen and separate bedroom. I took my DD by myself to Disney World for two days. She was under 3 so her Disney tickets were free. We had a great time and it was a lower cost way for us to enjoy Disney. We also used points for our flights. I'm glad I got to do that because now traveling to Disney is so expensive and crowded. We'll do a full Disney trip later but I'm glad I got that visit in before.
