[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are so many people attacking OP?

She is planning a vacation for her immediate family.  She is navigating a new situation and asked for advice.

Some seem to be suggesting that a family vacation itself is somehow wrong.  I don't get that.  This board is full of talk of family vacations with adults.  Is it expected that this ONLY happens if there are grandchildren involved, and all vacationing together should stop from 18/21yo to grandkids?

I have vacationed with my parents and sibling roughly every two years my entire life.  At a certain point, those trips began to include significant others, and then grandkids.  I've even traveled with just my mom as an adult, and several times my mom and my SIL. I enjoy the experience and there is nothing inherently wrong with it, in fact it is very nice.

OP, I do recommend inviting the significant other and paying her full cost.  But I also understand that the line falls somewhere between "dating for two months" and "married" And sometimes it can be hard to find it.  Of course anybody invited should feel free to decline if it doesn't work for them.

I hope it works out for you!

And thank you!!
