[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We generally do

2-4 night February trip to Florida or Caribbean

5-7 night spring break trip

2 weeks Europe in summer

A few days to a local beach or to visit friends at end of summer

Quick weekend trip in fall - local mountains or Philly or somewhere else driveable.

5-7 days winter break trip.

Last year this meant Miami in February, Arizona/Utah for Spring break (Tucson, Antelope Canyon, Zion, France, Italy and Spain in Summer, Costa Rica winter break.

3 people, around $30k and a TON of points. Wouldn't be possible without points and credit card free nights like Marriott Bonvoy, Hilton Aspire. Able to fly business and stay at high end places planning way in advance.

OP here - WOW you really know how to stretch the budget, could you share more on how you manage to do 2 weeks in Europe without blowing more than half the budget? Are the Marriot Bonvoy and Hilton Aspire from transferring credit card points?[/quote]

Np but I'm a travel twin to the person above. We're doing two weeks in Europe this summer and it's already fully booked- flights there and back using points. I jumped on a credit card transfer bonus to get very discounted (points) business class seats for my family of 4. We're flying home economy, about $800 total in fees round trip. We're spending a week in two different places, first at a rental apartment in the alps, second in the Italian lakes. Those will come to about $8k total. I'm budgeting about $1k for other travel costs, mostly public transportation on swiss rail. Staying under $15k all in.

I love to travel and plan trips and I often monitor prices for hotels, cars, flights even after booking. But planning ahead is key too. [/quote]
