[Idyllchat] Cost of travel

[robert w. miller]

About 25 years ago we decided that while we might leave our children a modest inheritance, the best thing we could leave them would be happy family memories, and what could be happier than a multigenerational vacation in Switzerland or wherever.  Since then we have taken all four of our children and all ten of our grandchildren on a Swiss Untour, one family at a time.

  I agree with Janet about not worrying too much about the cost of a trip.  I took three grand kids with me to Europe this past summer for two months.  I haven't sat down and figured out the cost either as I don't really care.  We included a two week Untour at the castle and six weeks of independent travel.  Whatever it cost, it was worth every penny.  We did some more outrageous things like living on a houseboat in Amsterdam for a week.  It was the same one used by Samantha Brown on her "Passport to Europe" show.  
  Whatever the extra cost, it was for being able to sit up top every evening and watch the sun set over the Amstel Canal as the kids waved at passing boats and played cards.
  The Euro didn't hurt us as badly as the Kroner used in Denmark.  But even there we only felt it most when we were staying in hotels and eating our meals out.  We rented a holiday cottage on Aero off the southern coast of Denmark for a week and found our stay very reasonable. In Germany, we were always able to find inexpensive places to eat and groceries for cooking in were not that outrageous.  
  I have always said that the only thing I have ever spent money on that I didn't, at some point, have regrets about was my travel (and I admit that even included my children).  I just returned from a trip to visit the grand kids and took them a copy of photos of our trip.  Listening to them talk about each place, I know there will be no regrets for this trip either.
