Skiing out west. $35k for a week for 6 people. Lodging being the most expensive cost. Flights, rental cars, meals, ski school etc add up. It is definitely cheaper to go other times but we’ve been doing this for years, and love the tradition. It does stink a little when you have years like this one without great snow, but we still had some snow while we were there, and a good time.

5 people, Big Island for 6 nts with 2 hotel rooms, rental car, flts from CA, 2 days of diving, guided hike, resort meals including nicer xmas eve and xmas dinners and a massage. It was lovely and our only family vacation this year due to surgeries so we did felt comfortable splurging

West coast to Boston (family), plane tickets were $4000 for a family of four. We used Alaska companion fare to get it to half price ($2k), then had to change the ticket which added $1k total. Other than that, had to rent a car for a couple days ($200), went on an overnight excursion while there, which was about another $1000. Also bought incidental groceries/meals while visiting family. So, a little north of $6k?

jesus, 7000 for 2 people to go to Mexico/
That’s all in including 2 destination in Mexico so 4 flights - all direct. Maybe in lower season it would be 4-5k but my kid is in school then. Worth it to me.

No sense in answering ~ posters will either crap on you saying it's too much or too little

We went to Miami for 4 nights/5 days post Christmas. Family of 4. Hotel was $2800 for a double room, Marriott resort . Rental car was $500. Flights were $2k. 1k on food/entertainment/activities.

Weather was nice, but resort was so busy service really suffered and will make us think next time.

We went out West for a week, about $600 per person (4 of us) for a 5hr direct flight. Airbnb and rental car were the other big expenses but daily incidentals were on the lower side (hiking, casual meals). We booked about 3 months before going. Prices for our specifics and dates were much higher for the Caribbean (or Europe) - I would book earlier for that.
