Family Trips Through Consultant Buy-Ins: Experiences & Worth It?

[chrpangel]

So I'm hoping to earn a trip this year. Do a lot of consultants do the buy in? I mean if I take my family to London or a cruise do they have stuff for kids? I see at conference the videos of the people who took their families (kids, not just spouses).

If anyone had buy ins I'd love to hear your experiences and if you thought the cost was worth it.

Thanks
Gina

I think a lot of people took their kids to Atlantis because there was tons of kids stuff to do at the resort. PC does not plan any kids activities or provide any babysitting or any of that.

Last year I earned San Fran and did not buy in my three year old for two reasons: my DH and I had not had any time away since our son was born and I really didn't feel like having to chase after him down the SF city streets.

I will earn the cruise this year and will probably buy him in. A cruise ship is pretty self-contained and there are kids activities! If we don't, we'll fly down to FL early and leave him with his grandma who is just 2 hours north of Miami.

I have been told that the Buy-In for London is INSANE, but the cruise is pretty acceptable. I would be scared to death to take my kid on a cruise. My son is a climber and I have nightmares about him going overboard!

my hubby wants to take EVERYONE to LONDON. We've got a 10,11, and 13. It's almost 3k!! But, If I make LONDON, aren't I makin that kind of dough? I'm shooting for London and hopefully making the cruise.
