Hi everyone! We were thinking that it is time to have another reunion. It has after all been over 10 years since we were all in the same place at one time.
We have found the perfect location that is big enough to house us all and we get a little bit of a discount too.
I have broken down the cost by family and it doesn't seem to bad.
6 nights (7th free)
$700 x 6= $4200.00
non refundable deposit $300.00
8% tax $360.00
Total $4860.00
Cost divided by 12 families $405.00 I KNOW RIGHT!!
If we start planning and saving now it gives us say 10 months. That is only $40.50 a month.
I looked into plane tickets and yikes they were spendy but then I figured we are pretty close to Wyoming so I looked up passenger vans that could fit the whole family and the cost was less per family then 1 plane ticket. I am also looking into train tickets but apparently Amtrak does not go to Wyoming.
As far a groceries me and Cathy thought we could plan our meals and do one shopping trip and then just divided it when we were done. Then everyone can cram into the kitchen and cook all at the same time.
All in all I think if each family can save $100 a month from now until then we should have everything covered plus a little spending money left over.
The time frame that we are looking at is a really popular one and is first come first serve. If we are really interested in doing this all we need is a $500 refundable deposit to reserve the house. The balance can be paid when we get there.
Lets work this out. Throw out some suggestions.
We are already really excited here. We miss all of your faces!
