General information so far about the trip.  I'm aiming for Dec 22nd thru Dec 29th which of course covers Christmas. We don't have a lot of flexibility here because most beach house rentals are done on a weekly basis and run Sat to Sat.  You may find a few exceptions but most will charge more if we ask to arrive mid week, stay for less than 7 nights and the same would be true for if we try to rent the place for more than 7 nights. Their objective is to not have any fragmented weeks.

We can ask about these options but know that there may be an increase in price per family.

My head count so far is 16.

Vic Jr.  4
Dave  4?
Anthony (unknown)
Marisol  3
Me  3
Mom & Dad

We also need to figure out how we'll handle the money.  I see two options right now.

Option #1--Each of you can write a check for your share and send it to the property owner yourselves

or

Option #2--You send your checks made payable to the property owner to me and I can send them in one envelope

There's a chance there's an option for each of us to pay our share online but I don't know that for certain.

I'd welcome some help planning the Anniversary Celebration for Mom and Dad.  The house we end up renting will have a kitchen so I imagine b'fast and lunch can be done at the house if we want and dinner can be an outing.  If we go that way, I'd also like some help in finding places and making reservations.  Right now we have 16 people.

This is a Blog where we can share information and ideas for this trip.  If any of you have ideas, information or suggestions post them here so we can see them and make decisions.
