Then teach your child to enjoy the nature! WTF? Is it so difficult to hang out with your kid for the week? Go for walks, wade in, look for sea glass, set up an umbrella and play games. The possibilities are endless.  [/quote]

The possibilities are NOT endless. If you have to fill 8 hours with a 6 year old in 100 degree heat.  If you've been there you'd know that walks on a beach under a burning sun in 95+ degrees are not fun.  Staying in the house defeats the purpose of traveling.

And I'm not going to put myself in a position where I have to entertain a kid all day every day for a week - make up activities and games to fill time.  I have a life too, you know.

So the only possibility is if the child can be in the water.  I'll order a waterproof cover and wait and see what the doctor will tell us.[/quote]

Well, as the responses are showing you, this is an optional cancellation, not a true emergency.  Because you are electing to avoid going rather than having an actual emergency that bars you from going, there is no way that you should ask for a refund or ask the other families to cover the costs because you don't want to be bothered to find alternative ways to entertain your child.  Frankly, if I was one of the other families and you asked for a refund, not only would I not cover for you, but I would probably not want to include you on vacation plans in the future as you seem like a difficult person to deal with.[/quote]

Take your child to the beach.  He can wade in the shallow water, collect seashells, watch for dolphins, read.  He can eat ice cream, shop for trinkets, play mini-golf one-handed, and go to the movies.

It's not an emergency.  It is a PITA, but not an emergency.[/quote]
