$10k for a family of 4
If we go under, great
but it seems like every time we go on vacation now its $10k, so that is what I allocate for out annual family vacation
if its overseas, then up to $15k

let me use your $2800 hotel example
for us, I would have to add
gas $400 (8 hour drive for me)
food to cook $300 (4 people for a week)
drinks $200 (not big drinkers)
eating out $500 (my family would want to eat out a few times, plus on the road food)
so even with your "cheap" hotel accommodations, I'm pushing $5k without considering all the other random shite that comes with vacation

also not hard to spend 5k for a week on the beach on 30a.
The house we rent on Cape San blas is 5,500 for the week.

OB is right under 8 hours from Shreveport....you could easily stay 2 weeks for $10k-$15k

no way!

Well if you're spending $400 to drive 8 hours I suggest you look into buying a new vehicle
Posted on 3/4/24 at 4:01 pm to tgrbaitn08
I'm not driving 8 hours with a 5 year old so it doesn't matter

Take a more affordable beach trip to less touristy areas (Navarre, etc) and go late April/early May OR September.

Well I just drove 5 hours each way from Houston with a 48 and 20 year old and a yappy lap dog this weekend and I was stopping every 2 hours just to get some fresh air......
So it doesnt get any better

I wish I had added a question about income as well.
My wife and I make $140k/year combined. A $10k trip would destroy us.
Daughter is still in preschool though.

frick em, I make enough where I don’t have to cook every night and stay in shitty condos or any other cheapo stuff
I love orange beach and we spend money when we go, we go to dinner pretty much every night, we ride go karts, we parasail, many times we go off shore fishing and we shop a lot. If that pisses off the OT so be it.

Really just depends on what we want to do.

I don’t know if I’d spend money to go offshore fishing in orange beach. Unless it’s an overnighter that took me back to Louisiana
