We are VERY late in the game in planning our family summer vacation. Unfortunately this is often the case for us but we never learn because so far things have always worked out pretty well and we've never paid the price, haha. But this year with gas prices, flights are crazy expensive. We were thinking about Alaska, but the flights are so high right now, plus I think that would involve a degree of planning that I just don't know if I have time for considering we want to travel at the end of June/ early July, so that is REALLY close. We've just been busy and dates have been up in the air, and...well, here we are about 6 weeks from when I'd like to leave and we have no plans at all.
I was thinking about a dude ranch. There is availability, but wow, those are expensive! I had no idea! I can find relatively inexpensive flights to some areas in Montana, Idaho, etc., but the ranch costs are a little shocking.
Can someone who has visited a dude ranch tell me a little bit about the experience? We can afford it if it's worth it, but I don't want to spend $500 a night per person for a mediocre vacation. Can anyone suggest a specific ranch?
I don't want to end up just going to an all-inclusive in Riviera Maya again, but it's looking more and more likely!
