[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure why kids can’t “just hang out” for a week, especially when there’s a few day trips mixed in. I mean, take a couple new Lego sets or jigsaw puzzles along, make sure there are outdoor toys like balls and splash pads, rent family movies from the local library. I can’t believe you literally can’t spend a week with your family without a pool.[/quote]

OP here - I updated last week:

[quote] Update for anyone who cares:

I thought this trip was dead and then Colorado was suggested. So I took a look at the place and flights and was ready to book when my brother (again) found all these supposed negative reviews and killed it again. So it is now dead dead and I'm irritated just because the whole thing was a huge waste of time.

My parents will come out in October. A separate vacation of just my kids and I was not suggested.[/quote]

As far as the pool, talk to my brother. That was his requirement - among other things, apparently. He told my parents that he's at the point that he wants to spend the money to do something really nice when he vacations. He's over staying at Best Westerns or the like.[/quote]

I don’t blame your brother. I’m not wasting vacation time, effort and money to stay at an icky Best Western. If I’m going to vacation, I’m going to vacation, not endure garbage “hotels” in boring places.[/quote]

Presumably you would be willing to do the research on finding a place that's suitable for everyone vs making a relative do all the research and then vetoing everything[/quote]
