...have you ever used extra points just to save your sanity
?
Here's the situation: we have had three pretty successful trips with inviting DH's family to go with us (one with his sister & mother, one with brother & family, one with other sister & family). We had a good time on all these trips (no horror stories like what I've read about!!). But he has another brother who has expressed interest in coming with us next time we go.
The problem lies in that while I love my brother-in-law, his wife and kids are high-maintenance. We could fit in a 2-bedroom but I'm considering getting us a 1-br and them their own studio. But I hate to part with extra points if I don't have to! But I am afraid that if we are in too close quarters, it could be frustrating.
So has anyone just bit the bullet and used extra points that technically you really didn't have to? Just not sure what to do. Thx!
