Alexander L 80 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Dunno really. He's from one of them ruling families and the salary he pays them is about 3 times what they would get from working in the Philippines. The money they get goes back to the homeland to buy land.

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Two is perfect for holiday bookings. Often a family room is a Double and twin beds, or two doubles (kids can share), most cars take comfortably 4, plane travel is easy booking 2x2 or 1 x 4 seats together, Family Passes are often 2A and 2C, rides etc are often a parent must accompany a child therefore if you have more than two little kids one parent has to wait with the others while the other parent takes a child one at a time... Two is very very handy. Having had 4, there were obstacles at times, but 'do-able'. SIL has 11. Travelling with the entire family becomes a 'Meet the Duggars' style production - not my idea of fun. In effect we have been a 2A/2C family since the older two became adults and pretty much do their own thing. It has been SO easy!!! I get it now Link to post Share on other sites
