[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Family of 5, and these are our plans for 2025:

-long weekend ski trip to Salt Lake City that we already did earlier this month
-Summer week in ME
-summer long weekend in Iceland 
-1 week in Finnish Lapland like OP

About $40k which is on the higher end for us but I do YNAB and this is how I wanted to prioritize my spending this year.[/quote]

OP here - Lapland! Where are you going in the region? Mind sharing more on where in Maine and the costs on that and Iceland for 5? 40k for all of those is incredible with that number of people[/quote]

We are going to ME for a family wedding, but spending 4 nights in Acadia and making a week out of it.  This time I paid $1,909.75 for 5 flights already, and I am paying $3K for a VRBO in Acadia for 4 nights (then separately paying 3 nights in a hotel, but I am not considering that part of my travel budget - that's part of my family events budget).  I think for the purposes of this post here, I only budgeted $3K for the trip because that's the only portion I was considering a vacation.  We have a 4th grader so our national park pass is free this year.  Usually when we stay in a house rental, we eat 2 meals a day with groceries in the house and go out for one meal.   
We also went to Acadia in 2017, and we drove that time and I paid $3K for the house rental for a week.  This is my past post if you want to read it: https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/644562.page

For Iceland, I bought our plane tix for $400/each already, and I believe I am budgeting $7K for the whole trip.  I did the google flights explore feature to pick the trip, and with flights for $400, I picked Iceland. Actually only 3 of us are going - the younger 2 will be at camp.  I believe I could have done it cheaper on my own, but I decided to have a travel agent plan it.

Lapland - Rovaniemi and Levi.  What about you?
