[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We still love Rehoboth Beach. If you rent a house for a week, it would come out to be <$1000/night. We went to all-inclusive resort earlier this year and was >$12000 for 6 days. Rehoboth would have been cheaper.[/quote]

But instead of hanging out for a week care free and catered to, you’re instead spending a huge chunk of your vacation meal planning, grocery shopping, cooking, washing dishes, doing laundry, sweeping, making beds, lugging beach gear, etc, while still spending thousands of dollars (and once you factor in food and drink probably paying almost as much if not more than you’d pay for the all inclusive). Sounds like a pretty rotten vacation to me, but to each their own.

Meal planning—done before we leave. I have lists from years past so it isn’t hard to adjust. 
Grocery shopping—this is where I splurge and do Instacart. I build the cart ahead of time and click to send my order about half an hour before we check in. By the time we are settled in the house; the food arrives!
Cooking—I cook all the time so I’m good at it and efficient, but really it isn’t complicated stuff. Burgers and corn on the grill, cut a watermelon, precut veggies. Sheet pan dinners. (I bring foil and parchment so I don’t even have to clean the pan). Cereal and yogurt for breakfast. Sandwiches and snacks for lunch. Everyone pitches in and it’s not a big deal. Dishes get washed by the dishwasher and we alternate putting them away.

Totally get that it’s not for you, but it works for some of us! [/quote]
