[quote=Anonymous]There are a few variables, such as the age of your children, flying vs driving, and destination.

I've traveled with families many times. 
-They always pay for my transportation. Plane tickets, they drive the car, or in one instance where I drove my own car they paid for my gas. 
-I sometimes had my own room. When I shared a room with the kids, they slept through the night, always. These were usually on very busy vacations, like Disney, where we were all so tired by the end of the night that all we did was sleep. 
If I shared a room, it was because we had a suite style set up or we were all in the same house. 
-Family pays for all of my food while there. The exception to this was if I was "off" and out shopping during a typical meal time, or if I met up with a friend for dinner while "off." 
-If I chose to buy souvenirs, I paid for them.

Usually we agreed to a set amount of money before the trip, as well as some basic guidelines. Some of these might include:
-I'd have time off every day when the kids napped, so I could go to the beach or the pool and the parents would stay at the house.
-I'd watch the kids x amount of nights during the trip so parents could go out to eat 
-I'd have the entire morning/afternoon/day off on x day so I could shop/lay on the beach/visit the Disney parks (what I did depended on that particular vacation, of course)

There was only one time I traveled with a family and it was a bad experience. Overall, I usually have fun. [/quote]
