[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine are more for family trips:
I really like planned outfits for my kids. Make fun of me all you like, but I enjoy being on a family "trip" more when they coordinate. I have them all lined up in travel cubes.

I pack all the snacks. Handing my toddler a cheese stick or a pouch has saved the afternoon many times. I get creative with the snacks too. For dh and I there's always chocolates and iced coffees.

When it's DH and I on a vacation: 
-We go to exotic places and I like to arrange a driver and tour guide. Getting through customs in a corrupt country is 10x better with a tour guide. I've even seen them palm money and then we skip lines. It's like the wild wild west out there. It's also helpful when we don't speak the language and the locals are not likely to speak English.

DH and I use the airport lounges. They have areas to change in, snack and even get massages when you arrive. Useful more for the long haul flights of 15 hours versus the shorter European flights.

I grew up staying in 5 star hotels and am not that interested in it now that I'm an adult. I'd much rather stay in some hut on a safari. If I wanted fancy sheets and my slippers, I would just stay home. Ritz is only marginally better than a Marriot in my mind (and dh's), but obviously a lot of other people feel differently. [/quote]

Ha, I like you. You must have cute vacation photos.

Do you have any other tips where splurging makes a big difference worth the money?[/quote]
