DH works for a hotel and he also has a lot of connections so we usually are able to stay in very nice hotels for a good price. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-lodge-when-you-travel#post-240408 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 05:59:27 +0000 mediagirl 240408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have never been away long enough to have a vacation home so, hotels for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-lodge-when-you-travel#post-240342 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 21:56:18 +0000 Grace 240342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on where I am going and how long it's for. In Maui for 10 days we rented a vacation home (which was awesome and way cheaper than a hotel). If it's for the weekend in a city, then it's a hotel with a pool. Right now we are in Prince Edward Island which seems to be B &amp; B land. It's my first time in a B &amp; B and it's fun! Seemed weird though, coming back from the day's siteseeing to find the house dark. I felt like a teenager sneaking in after curfew! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-lodge-when-you-travel#post-240323 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 21:33:51 +0000 Maysprout 240323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lately I feel like whenever we travel we are visiting family. On our last trip we stayed mostly with family, but also in a rented apartment and a B&amp;B. We usually aim for some sort of B&amp;Besque place, a bit smaller than a hotel.<br /> When my husband and I used to travel before baby we often traveled very cheaply and camped or stayed in hostels and even couch surfed one night - couchsurfing was a really great experience I'm really glad I found that website, but now that baby has come I don't think I'd do it anymore </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-lodge-when-you-travel#post-240192 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 19:07:10 +0000 chopsuey 240192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We stay at a hotel when we vacation. When we're visiting family we stay with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-lodge-when-you-travel#post-240189 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 19:01:19 +0000 LuLu Mom 240189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually a hotel or an all inclusive resort. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-lodge-when-you-travel#post-240179 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 18:47:20 +0000 Smurfette 240179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It all depends on the where and who we are with. If it is a group of people, I prefer a house. Just DH and I hotel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-lodge-when-you-travel#post-240147 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 18:18:35 +0000 SleepyMonkey 240147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm kind of a diva when it comes to lodging...i like to stay in hotels and they have to be nice. i'm open to renting a house too, but again, it has to be nice so i don't end up saving any money that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-lodge-when-you-travel#post-240142 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 17:58:33 +0000 regberadaisy 240142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: check vrbo.com and homeaway.com! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-lodge-when-you-travel#post-240088 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 16:22:42 +0000 anonysquire 240088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only hotels so far, but I do want to try a vacation home for our 2 week Minnesota trip this fall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-lodge-when-you-travel#post-240042 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 14:55:21 +0000 Meridian 240042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hotels! I was open to couch surfing when I was younger (&lt;24) but not anymore. </p> <p>I used to work for Hyatt Hotels for 5 years and we used to get 12 free hotel nights a year... man, that is the ONLY thing I miss from my corporate days!! We traveled frequently because hotels were always free ( even the nicer hotels like Park Hyatt and Grand Hyatt) and even in different countries too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-lodge-when-you-travel#post-240007 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 13:42:53 +0000 Mrs.B 240007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends, we have a vacation house in FL so when we travel to FL we stay there but when we travel elsewhere we stay in a nice hotel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-lodge-when-you-travel#post-240002 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 13:37:03 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 240002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually stay in hotels. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-lodge-when-you-travel#post-240000 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 13:32:40 +0000 Andrea 240000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We stay in hotels or a vacation home if it is more convenient, like in areas where there are not many hotels. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-lodge-when-you-travel#post-239922 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 11:01:50 +0000 skibobrown 239922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely prefer vacation homes, but we often stay in hotels as well. ...and of course I love crashing with family or friends, and I always love when friends come to stay with us too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-lodge-when-you-travel#post-239906 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 10:27:26 +0000 Mrs. Pen 239906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We would rent a space, stay with family or a hotel. When we go to NY we stay with the IL's, but before they had room for us (before their kids moved out!) we stayed with friends of ours. We were considering our own private apt or house to rent next time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-lodge-when-you-travel#post-239904 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 10:22:48 +0000 heffalump 239904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends. When I was younger I did a lot of hostels or id bring a pup tent. Now we try to stay with family a lot or stay at a hotel. Last vacation we rented someones apartment for a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-lodge-when-you-travel#post-239895 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 09:50:51 +0000 mrs. bird 239895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stayed in hostels in Europe when I was younger, I think DH &amp; I would be too old for it now :D</p> <p>If I have an opportunity to stay with friends/family, then I do. We're poor! Or we camp, but we enjoy camping, so it's not out of hardship. We stay in hotels too. I've never rented a house on my own, but my parents did a lot when I was younger, often a huge one and lots of family would share it. I loved it and would consider doing that once we have a LO.</p> <p>Edit to add: we stay with friends/family that have space for us, not like on their living room couch! Although we've stayed on air beds :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-lodge-when-you-travel#post-239890 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 09:42:50 +0000 MamaMoose 239890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If its a longer trip (full week or more) we'll look in to renting a house. Otherwise... Hotel all the way. You'll never find me in a hostel. I'm just too high maintenance for that : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-lodge-when-you-travel#post-239886 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 09:39:23 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 239886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>depends... my sister works in the hotel industry so I get cost price of the rates. So Ya, hotel for me! but I don't go for the super expensive ones. </p> <p>I can usually get 3 nights for the price of 1 regular room. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-lodge-when-you-travel#post-239884 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 09:37:30 +0000 regberadaisy 239884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you stay in hotels, hostels, motels, vacation homes, couch surf?</p> <p>I prefer vacation homes. I find it more convenient to have our own private space and often it's much cheaper than hotels.</p> <p>We also stayed at hostels on our hm. Can't bring myself to couch surf at a strangers home tho! </p>
