[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 54176, member: 1835"] All I can tell you is about our own experience along the same lines. After several dismal "fun-vacation" failures including forfeiting $3000 for a cruise that never happened, several hundred dollars wasted to rent a separate cabin next to our RV site for our son and his friends, etc., if we had it to do over again, we would scrap the plans. The trips that actually happened during that period of time were when we "forced" our son to accompany us, and they were just as disappointing. Although we did our best to keep him happy and occupied, i.e., brought along friends whose way we paid, rented jet skis and boats in the summer, gave him and a friend snow-boarding lessons in the winter, he simply didn't want to be there. And, although he wasn't actively behaving like a jerk MOST of the time, he was a real "downer" to have along. No matter how much we tried to make a family trip happen with our son as a pot-addicted teenager, the sorry fact is that nothing held as much allure for him as hanging out with all his pot-smoking friends. In fact, I now have no doubt about what he and his friends would have been doing in that cabin... I'd save my money and go somewhere on a vacation with your wife when the heat dies down. You'll probably need it... [/QUOTE]
