[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I took my children to Spain last summer for 2 weeks and the whole trip cost less than a Bethany rental, flight included.[/quote]

This is not believable.

Well, I guess if you rent a massive house in Bethany and a tiny place in the middle of nowhere in Spain. And I agree that Spain is cheaper overall, but flights would basically make the costs break even.

There’s no need to exaggerate to prove your point. It just makes you look ridiculous. [/quote]

That probably isn't far off.

I just looked and the average weekly rental for a 3 bedroom Bethany house is 4300 per week.  Flights to Spain next summer are about $750.  Food is far cheaper as are accommodations (2 bedroom in central Madrid during the summer is 1500-2500 for 2 weeks).  I bet it would be cheaper to go to Spain for 2 weeks.[/quote]

Just do the math for your family and find out, it's pretty simple math.  The problem with your example is are you going to want to stay in Madrid for two weeks in the middle of the summer?  The beach resorts tend to cost more (although you can find cheaper Airbnbs).  And don't forget transit/rental car costs.

It was just an example to show that it may be something to think about.  I am not a travel agent and wasn't coming up with a full itinerary.  It is easy, though, to through in additional details just to show that somehow you're smarter.  Get a life.[/quote]

As an FYI, I posted earlier in the year my full budget for a trip to Spain for 2 for 10 days in June.  It was pretty expensive, mainly because we flew premium economy out there.  The flights were about 75% of the whole cost, but I did use hotel points to cover 5 nights hotel.  [/quote]
