[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I think your plan is great and you can think about a cheaper trip to Europe (economy seats and an economy hotel or vrbo), which you could do for 10K, or doing something like renting a beach house for a week and combining with maybe a weekend trip to NyC or Hershey or Williamsburg at a doffetnet point.

I think I’m probably 20 years older than you and my kids are teens so travel is more expensive but also we are able to spend more than we did on our 20s and 30s!  We are doing:
Spring break to Galapagos (something we’ve been planning for like a decade so this is a splurge!) 
Possible 10 days in Spain this summer
Possibly a week in Dewey this summer
Driving trip to midwest for Thanksgiving to see adult kid (driving so pets can come too!—will be pretty low cost)
Christmas cruise to Caribbean (another splurge but it’s the only trip out adult kid can do with us)

One thing I’ve noticed in planning trips to Europe.  The “first city” is incredibly expensive, as is any ritzy beach location.  But if you look at smaller cities, the hotels are really cheap.  And some of those small cities have incredible sites, unesco heritage castles etc.  so think York instead of London, Burgos or Toledo instead of Madrid, Avignon instead of Paris, etc.  and the trains to get to those smaller cities are often very reasonable priced.  And in much of Europe kids and senior citizens get very heavily discounted (or free) admission to many sites.  [/quote]

OP Galapagos is a dream for us, but our child is too young (under 4), glad it came to fruition for you all after a decade! How do you manage PTO with this much travel (if you have a job with limited PTO) - working from Dewey?[/quote]
