[quote=Anonymous]We have only traveled with people we're not related to in small groups, 1 other family at a time. How big was the rental that you could fit 5 families? I guess some super big beach houses exist in the OBX.

You have to go into these trips with different expectations than a family vacation with just your nuclear family. Go only with people you know very well. Have a rough plan for meals before you get there (are you eating out all the time or are some people cooking dinner?) Are there activities that everyone is excited about? There needs to be a lot of communication before the trip begins so that everyone's expectations are in line.

If you're someone who wants to do what you want to do, wants to only eat what you want to eat, these trips are not for you.

They can be super enjoyable. As adults, we don't get the opportunity to be with other adults (other than family) in intense settings like this much, it can really strengthen relationships. However, if your expectations are off, then yeah, relationships can also be ruined.[/quote]
