[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are nutty. Under their logic, if my husband and I take our kids on vacation but not our extended family we don't love them and people should feel sad. You can love people and not take them on every vacation. I need people to get a life! [/quote]

I didn't say anything about love. I said we enjoy being with our kids and that they add to our trips rather than subtract. I'll give you an example. We're going to Belize in February. We're going to be ziplining, snorkeling, horseback riding, tubing, exploring caves, and going to Guatemala to see Tikkal. We could have left our kids but when I thought about whether I want my kids to have an opportunity to see Belize, I realized we have to bring them. We most likely won't get back there before they go to college. Plus those are all activities that they'd enjoy too so we're bringing them. We're going to Turks and Caicos in April and probably Scotland in the summer (I'm the OP of the SF, Vancouver, or Scotland thread).

We're doing kid friendly stuff that we'd like to do now and saving the more adventurous (and more expensive things) like Peru or an African safari for when they're in high school.[/quote]

3 international vacations a year for 5 people is expensive. I’m guessing it’s got to be over 30k? Some people don’t have that for non necessities. [/quote]
