Had anyone tried Pack Up & Go trips?
https://www.packupgo.com/
I'm not a very spontaneous guy. I like to plan everything out. However, for our 22nd anniversary I booked us a three day trip in June with a total budget of 4k. Just wondering if anyone has been on one of these or knows someone who has. |

I think 4K is what we are paying for a week at Sandals in Jamaica with a Butler Suite, including airfare. It’s all inclusive meals and drinks too. Seems you could get a better vacation for the price, but up to you obviously.

I'm intrigued by the idea. The wife and I have been in a pretty steady cycle of vacationing to Texas (to visit my family), California (to visit her family), and Kansas City (because Chiefs and BBQ). I'm contemplating blowing off a couple of those trips, and giving this plan a whirl. |

These trips can be booked for as little as $650 per person IIRC. I just threw out 2k per person because I said screw it, it's only money and I'll make more tomorrow. I just want a great time with the love of my life.
Also, I work a lot and it is hard for me to get away for more than one or two consecutive weekdays. So I'd rather take a three day trip than a longer trip. Part of the excitement is the unknown and possibly introducing you to areas or things that you never thought about exploring before. I have no doubt that proper planning could have got us trip that would likely be a better value than what we'll get. I wasn't looking for value; I was looking for something new and different. As I said earlier, hopefully that new and different doesn't include my organs being harvested :-) I have no idea if I'll feel like I got a raw deal or not. I fully admit I'm nervous but you only live once I guess. |

It's about surprise and convenience. You pay and tell the dates you want and you fill out a short preference survey. That's it. The nice thing in my wife's case is that they coordinated all of the arrangements for all 3 ladies in different cities to arrive at the same time.
