Don't ya love it!? lol
We do this all the time. Family vacations at least every other year. Large beach houses or multiple condos.
Here's our deal...
1. No forced caravans.
2. "See you when we get there" is pretty much the plan. We leave when we want & arrive when WE plan. So does everyone else. Everyone knows that they need to get from point A to point B. Everyone travels differently. Each family group "gets there" in the way that's best for them.
3. You sleep where you sleep. It might be a couch, sleeping bag on the floor or a bed or a pullout couch, but you'll have a place to sleep.
You & hubby & your kids can all use O. room.
4. It's everyone's vacation and no O. has to do any activity that they don't want to, and very O. can do any activity they DO want to. Simple.
So....would I caravan to keep the peace? Why? No I wouldn't. Nor would I leave my husband at home for lack of bed space. If you've got a spot, he's got a spot! :)
