[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP if you really truly need to travel on a very strict budget it can be done. Over the last 6 years our HHI was 100k and our family has done:

-10 days in ireland
-14 days in Spain
-12 days in North Carolina
-7 days in Florida
-We are in the process of booking 16 days in Belgium/France/Netherlands over the holidays

Yes, I go to great lengths to travel hack and save, but at the end of the day we have great trips and it's absolutely worth it to me.[/quote]

Teach me your ways!!! We are just starting to think about travel now that I'm done using up all my PTO for "maternity leaves," but I haven't budgeted anything more ambitious than camping or hotels in nearby cities. I would love to take my family to Ireland, among other places. [/quote]

Ireland is quite cheap outside of Dublin. Looked at some random Airbnbs in small towns near Galwsy, you can get a 3 br house for $180/night. You can fly nonstop on Aer Lingus for $600/person in May. Hertz at DUB is $450 for 10 days. So you could do a 10 day trip for $4750 including rentals and transportation. $200/day in food and activities, and you are at $7k for 10 days. It's not cheap, but it's not $25-30k either.[/quote]

Thanks! We were thinking northwest coast or Maine/Atlantic Canada for first big trip, but that probably is actually comparable. I'm surprised the rental car is so cheap, that's significantly lower than domestically.[/quote]
