[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't have 3 kids, but our family does travel a lot, and I would not spend 10K for a cruise ship vacation. I bet you could spend a week in Mexico for half that price.

Really? Where?  I tried pricing out flights and hotels inthe yucatan peninsula earlier this year and it looked at least as expensive as a cruise before you even added in food, especially given we need 2 rooms.  Again, maybe I'm doing it wrong.  We don't travel for work do we don't have any points with any airline or hotel chains, which I guess some people use.  And I tried to price out vacations in Europe where we'd go around and see stuff like castles, but it's impossible to rent a car that's big enough for 5 with carseats.  It seems like everyone else takes such fabulous vacations.  [/quote]

I just priced out a trip to Puerto Vallarta (picked it only because I've been there). Round trip airfair on US Air is $650 per person; $3200 for five.

On hotels.com I found a suite hotel that has a room with two queens and a pull out sofa bed, plus a balcony. Hotel has four stars on tripadvisor. Price is $121 per night.

Total for air plus accommodation is now a shade over 4K. That's $1000 left over for food, sightseeing, souvenirs, etc, and you come in at 5K even.
