I admit I chuckled a little when the editor at FamiliesGo! asked me to write about my most ambitious family vacation. As a father of six, pretty much every trip we take qualifies as ambitious. The last time we all traveled together we took 17 (!) pieces of luggage to the airport!
For our family of eight to travel, we started learning the tips and tricks of collecting airlines miles on the cheap about three years ago. Our extended family has a large reunion every other summer, and in the summer of 2012 it was decided that the 2014 reunion would be at Lake Tahoe. I knew that eight plane tickets to Reno from Cincinnati, where we live, would NOT be cheap, and that cost might well determine whether or not we would be able to go. So I got creative.
