We usually average around 10k per trip. I’m planning a ski trip for next year and it’s going to be significantly more. Value memories above all else.

Thats cheap for a ski trip for a family of 4

is this where you enlighten us on how you stay at a nice place, on the beach, in the summer, for significantly less?
We're staying at Turquoise Place for $2800 in late July. I'm sure that's not nice enough for you and the silver spoon up your arse
VRBO is littered with beachfront 30A properties for less than $3k for an entire week in summer. And I'm sure none of those will be good enough too.

I thought you were talking about you and your wife and small child going to the beach for $10k-$15k

We usually just do a 3-4 night trip, and I'm good with that.
This is what we have started doing (Thursday-Sunday). Drive to somewhere within 6-8 hours.
Spend about $1,000-$1,200 on lodging. Then it just depends on where we go for how much else we spend (family of 4).
On a beach trip, those costs are generally lower because we will only eat out once a day and don't really need to do much else other than go out on the beach.
This summer, we plan to take a trip to Georgia and stop in Atlanta for the aquarium and maybe a Braves game, so will have to pay for those.

no offense to the OT, but going to the beach for 3 days isn't our family vacation

and you won't spend another $1,200+ on fuel, food, drinks, activities? sounds like you're spending pretty close to 5k for a beach trip.

'm sure that's not nice enough for you

We are going to Vail and just the two bedroom condo is almost 10k for 7 nights. Four lift tickets for 5 days, rentals, food, alcohol, flight, etc. I might double that

Not even close. I go to the beach to go to the beach. I cook most food because my food is better than overpriced long wait time beach restaurants, and cooking is relaxing to me.
ETA: Also, nice math skills

Dont you live in Shreveport?
I'd assume anything an hour outside of the city limits is a vacation for you

We are hoping we can swing a few nights in Natchitoches this year, but with gas prices, we aren't sure.
Posted on 3/4/24 at 3:14 pm to Salmon
Agreed, but we live at the beach so it’s not really something we are interested in doing on vacation

$5k for standard trip, $7,500 for something unique with flights, and $10K for disney/snow ski type trip.

10K for disney
frick that noise.

so you'll spend 3.5k to go to the beach in Alabama but 5k is excessive. got it.
quote:that was intentional. i assumed that 4k would be close enough to 5k.

20k per year, usually split up over 3 trips.
