  • We've been trying to plan a big family trip. Sil and i have been working on it, sent out hotel ideas to everyone, no one ever objected so we went ahead and booked it. Now 2 of them say it's not nice enough and are staying somewhere else much fancier but not as good for kids and a drive from the beach rather than on the beach. WWYD? Switch to a more expensive fancier place to all be together or stay at the much more convenient kid-friendly place you already booked? There are 2 kids booked at the fancy place and 2 of us at the kid-friendly place. WDYT?

    • Who the hell wants to have to drive to the beach? These people sound picky and lame.

      • And like they want a little distance from the sheer familyness of the weekend. Let them make their own choices. If it's better, sure, change your mind. If you like your choice better, than stick with it.

        • They're not doing it to stay apart, they are really doing it b/c they can't stand not to stay at the absolute nicest place in the area.

              • OP said those didn't have kids? but in any case: having arranged family co-vacations, I know that building in away-time is sometimes really, really essential. We all live in different cities for a reason!

                • No, they have kids. And we're all in our own hotel rooms doing our own things, it's more like running into each other at the pool and at meals.

                  • They made their choice loud and clear with their actions. If you follow them, they will retreat again in some other way. Sucks, but maybe some day they'll calm down. You choose what you want.

        • I'm a little on the fence. I mean, maybe my place will be schmaltzy, but the rooms are suites with kitchens rather than single hotel rooms and it has a bunch of pools and an indoor waterpark for the kids, plus a kids club.

      • Well to be fair, their place is a very fancy spa/hotel/golf/resort type place, my place is a perfectly decent very kid-friendly place on the beach. It's not nearly as nice but more fun for the kids, imo.
