[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let my post be the one that urges everyone to go touch grass!

Family of five, HHI of about 160k. The past several years, we have done about 4 days at the beach in an Air Bnb that is not more than $2000. Last year, it was a one bedroom condo in ocean city, but ocean front and with an indoor pool. This year, it's a SFH that's about a 5 minutes walk to the beach in Norfolk, VA. Two years ago, it was Chincoteague, a house with a huge yard, but we had to drive 15 minutes to the beach. We make meals at the house and eat out (carry out) maybe once. So, all in all, we probably spend 3K +/- on summer vacation. [/quote]

A family of 5 in a one bedroom condo? Frankly, I'd rather just stay home. That sounds miserable. [/quote]

3 teens and we are not extravagant vacationers (don't even have valid passports TBH except for DH)....and I agree. Hard nope. [/quote]

+ 1 - I mean if you are going to cook and live in a 1 BR all together - why even spend anything to vacation - that sounds worse than your life not vacationing?  LOL

When we go away, no I am not cooking.  I am not going to have a vacation where I'm living my daily routine life.  If I have to see a beach or another environment from my daily one, I'll just watch a movie hah!

Man, when we travel it's like I'm in a movie.  I am going to R&R, be able to thoroughly enjoy myself - as much as possible still being a mom to 2 teens :)  I will seriously never understand why the idea of vacation is not practiced by all.  When you have a break it's because you need to change up your routine and ideally, be able to explore a new environment completely (not drive to sit at a beach for 5 hours).[/quote]

Why is that a big deal?  Many of us live in small homes and share a hotel room.  A one bedroom would be great.  We usually just do a hotel room.[/quote]

+1. Different people have different preferences & amounts of disposable income. If you don’t like a one bedroom condo, you’d really hate our beach vacation— we sleep in a tent and cook over a fire. [/quote]
