The people who hassle us about our DVC are the same people who spend their vacations sitting up in a cold deer blind looking for things to shoot! How pathetic is that?! Of course, I live in Michigan, where a conversation about deer processing is considered a conversation-starter at any party!
Oooohh! What a vacation!! Not!!!
That would be cruel punishment for me!
Seriously, if that is what they really want to do? Great, go for it, but count me out!
My Older brother's family are the quad-riders. They go on several trips a year. We have gone with them before to one of their beach trips at a camp ground and stayed in there trailer. The beach was nice and at least they had showers. 2-3 nights camping are good enough for me. Anymore than that, give me a hotel! Better yet, my DVC!
The funny thing is....he thinks he is being so thrifty by vacationing this way. The amount of money he has in his camping trailer, storage trailer, 5-6 quads, sand rail, gear, food, and the amount he pays in gas to haul all that is unbelievable!
He could take his family of 5 on a really nice vacation for many years to come. Not only that, but the work that has to go into getting everything set up and ready to go, and then coming back and cleaning everything and putting it away.
Yikes! Any vacation takes preparation we all know, but that is way more than I want to do!
My poor SIL was so exhausted by the time we unloaded and got the trailer set up to sleep in, while my brother was out there chatting with his buddies.
I thought to my self "Honey, you're doing it all wrong! HOTEL! HOTEL! HOTEL!"
They even have a timeshare in Mexico that they have only used once! Go figure!
TO EACH THEIR OWN!
I know if I could ever get my brother to DVC, he would probably buy!
His family loves those local fairs and carnivals! They ask us if we want to go and I tell them "Thanks, but we have our Disney tickets and those things cost almost as much as a day at Disney. I'd rather put that money towards our Disney tickets!"
He talks like we spend so extravagently, but his family wastes more than we could ever save and his wife makes more than my husband and myself put together!
Sorry, for rambling on!
