Let me tell you, Dom, that was actually one of the CHEAPEST vacations we ever took! The reason being is because there were nine of us and we rented that palatial villa. There was only one charge for it, and it could accommodate twelve in all its bedrooms, so whether one person booked it, or twelve, the charge was the same and split by those who stayed within those magnificent walls. We stayed about ten days in that house, and the cost, per person per day, was about forty dollars. You can't stay in a Motel 6 for that anymore! Next we're looking into renting a castle in England, but only if we can get a ton of us to go again, so as to keep it cheap, cheap, cheap. And you save even more money because you don't hafta eat out for virtually every meal - you're allowed complete kitchen use (and - best of all - there's a washer and dryer in most of these places....no overpacking! - for that Italy trip, I took everything I needed in a carry-on).
