More Discussion About The Price Of Free

A few weeks ago I met Andrea Fellman, and she was telling me about a trip she would be taking to Mexico with some amazing Mom Bloggers. My reaction was, “Oh my gawd Mexico! You couldn’t pay me to go there, make sure they get kidnap insurance. You can’t tell anyone you have it, but you absolutely must have kidnap insurance.”

According to Mindy, you don’t have to pay anyone to go there.

I get it. There are plenty of trips I’d love to take, but they almost all involve my family, or at the very least a little weekend with my husband. There’s one more trip I’d like to take without my family, but there really has to be an alignment of the stars for the scheduling to work well. Hopefully the stars align for Mindy and she enjoys this trip.

Blogger trips (junkets seems to be a bit of an overstatement) are the new perk. They appear to be first class travel that may or may not have anything to do with the actual product.

Which is fine.

I want nothing more than to take my family to Arusha and meet the twitter kids. I’d probably take a trip from any brand for that opportunity (but I doubt it would come to fruition).

What do y’all think? Are these trips good for moms?
