[quote=Anonymous]I’m a light sleeper. Years ago I visited my sister’s town (which is a vacation destination) with my family and the tiny room was about $300 / night, the air conditioner was right next to the bed, and I heard people coming and going all night. Since then I’ve rented a 3 bedroom condo about a mile outside of town and it’s quiet, the complex has a pool, and it’s about $330 / night. My husband typically doesn’t come for that trip. My kids are 8 and 12 and this will be my 3rd summer doing this alone. They can have their cousins for sleepovers and I can get good sleep. I don’t vacuum / sweep unless we spill. I don’t worry about making beds. Breakfast is typically go to a bakery, go to my sister’s for bagels, or do bagels in our condo. (Or cereal). Lunch we’re usually hiking or at the lake or at the pool - we can pack picnics before hand or run indoors for peanut butter and jelly and fruit. Eveyone rinses their dishes and puts them in the dishwasher. There’s a small washing machine and only so many clothes so if I choose to do laundry it’s easier to manage than at home, but I also pack enough to skip laundry. Basically, if you wouldn’t cook or do laundry in a hotel why do you need to do that in a condo? Last year I had a really early flight and my sister came over and helped me take the trash out and load up the luggage which I really appreciated, but it wasn’t hard. [/quote]
