[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sucks being too poor to afford to go on vacation just with your own family.  [/quote]
In my experience, a vacation with another family is just as expensive.[/quote]

Then why on Earth would anyone ever do it?  It sounds like the stupidest thing in the world to me.  Unless of course it's used as a cover by people who are cheating or something.  But that's even worse.[/quote]

Do yo not have close friends?  Do your kids not have close friends?

I guess we (and our friends) are the outliers (on this thread, at least), but we have gone about 20 trips with friends over the past 2 decades.  Sometimes couples, sometimes entire families.  The beach, Iceland, Italy, Argentina, Napa Valley, and a dozen or so ski trips.  Sometimes just 2 families, sometimes 3 or 4.  The kids love it, as do the parents.  It helps that we've known all the families involved for 20-30 years, and everyone pulls their weight.

I also am an introvert, and I have no qualms about going off by myself to recharge.  Everyone does it.  And not that the kids are all older - at least middle school - it's even easier, when they don't need constant attention.   [/quote]
