Thanks for this. It helps to hear that perspective on it.

Real expensive..that's why it's a once every, oh, long time to save for deal....

We had that problem in our family when I was growing up because we had 6 people, I can't imagine what we would have done if there had been any more of us!
Have you ever checked out
http://www.homeaway.com/? You can find homes and condos and such for rent all over the country and it would be a lot easier to have multiple rooms for everyone.
