[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't make this a learning experience for the old people.

Just pay for everything you need to pay for to make this a terrific memory for the grandkids.

Your husband may very well be a chicke, but on this one, I am with him.  [/quote]

+1 seriously, if you can afford it, just pay for them and enjoy it. It's not like they are strangers off the street, they are your dh's parents.[/quote]

Most families I know the GRANDPARENTS pay and organize family vacations once in awhile. They don't need stuff, they want to see everyone together, happy, not going to the office so they plan -- and sometimes pay -- for large family vacations.  I bet this was in the back of OP's parent's mind when they bought a timeshare.

I could not imagine expecting my adult sons with a young family, wife, both working their @$$es off full-time and having $hitload of current/future expenses to PAY FOR MY leisure tickets, hotel, food, to vacation with them.  A family of 4 vacation is already enough to save and budget for.

Just keep this trip to who invited you, don't enlarge it.  Different travel and spending styles suk.
