[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Either drive somewhere else for dinner, or just decide not to care and enjoy the dinner on site. You booked the resort for a vacation, but watching your every dime is the antithesis of relaxing. [/quote]

For some of us who grew up on a tight budget it's nearly impossible to just not look at prices on a menu. My husband is like this on vacation and it stresses me out. My kids love room service and I do enjoy a nice dinner out but paying $15 for a room service bowl of cereal with a banana makes me annoyed and does not set the tone for the day that I want on vacation. Good food is more enjoyable to me when it's not outrageously priced and I don't feel taken advantage of. I usually bring apples and oranges, etc. and try to supplement meals without it being a big production.
I realize my husband relaxes in a different way than I do and I try to not explicitly talk about menu prices while dining at all because I know it reduces his enjoyment. I also try have at least one morning where the kids can order some $100 eggs and toast in the hotel room because it somehow seems like the highlight of staying in a hotel for them. If I know in advance it's easier to tolerate.[/quote]

I know it’s ridiculous, but I love room service breakfast, too!  As the person in my house who cooks, serves, and cleans up after 98% of all breakfasts day after day, year after year, nothing makes me feel more “on vacation” than eating some overpriced bacon and eggs, in my PJs, that somebody else cooked and will do the dishes!
