[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I realize this is a troll post, but I can’t help myself.

OP, imagine whatever activity your kid likes best.

They get the opportunity to do it three or four times in a single weekend with a dozen or so friends, plus a couple of group meals, and ideally a stay in a hotel with an indoor pool where they get to spend evenings together.

Is it really that hard to understand that kids might really enjoy something like that?[/quote]

This is exactly what tournament weekends are like. My kids do love it. We didn’t drive 800 miles. We had a tournament 50 miles away and one was local. Win or lose they are leaning important life lessons. [/quote]

Like how to stay in a crappy Hampton Inn in Podunk?[/quote]

DP, but actually yes.  Exposing your kid to the world (and more importantly, their own country) doesn’t exclusively involve first class travel, four star hotels, and Michelin dining.  Unless your goal is to raise elitist snobs, it’s good for kids to learn that they’re not too good for a crappy Hampton Inn in Podunk.[/quote]
