[quote=Anonymous]Agree with above. They don't actually want to travel with you. They want the free airfare and place to stay. You may have a unicorn AP who likes to see your kids enjoy Disney World, but really, those are rare and you have an AP who wants to see Disney World free and will tolerate going to the Frozen ride if it means that. And you will feel that attitude because it's not personal, it's reality. Your 20-something AP is not excited about witnessing the inevitable DisneyWorld meltdown your preschooler will have.

If you are happy to take her because she's helpful and a full fledge familiy member by now, then splurge and add the room, airfare and tickets. If you aren't excited and obligated, splruge on a low cost flight for her to the destination of her choice under $300 and let her plan her own vacation.

We took our final aupair on vacation with us in April to try to bond with her. We were struggling to do so before this. It was okay. She seemed happy. The bonding did not happen but it was just a bad match. The trip didn't cost much to add another room but in retrospect, it was a failed effort.
