"Consider coming to Rome with us."
Cost As low as $3,991 + ~$2,200 flight = $6,200/person
Honest question for all of the more erudite Rome travelers out there:
How does an average family with two adults and four young kids make a trip like this work?
I mean, yeah, leave the kids home until they get older and let them figure out a pilgrimage on their own, but how can an average middle class family with one working parent make this fit into their budgets (even just a parent's only trip)?
I see and hea…
First of all, you're right. I couldn't afford to take my family on this trip or go on it.
Second of all, if you're paying $2,200 for a flight to Rome, you're dramatically overpaying.
But I take your point: This is not a trip for everyone, and, like I said, I couldn't afford it for my family. But Pillar readers have asked us to arrange a pilgrimage like this, and some people can afford it: retired people or families doing well. And if they're going to Rome, which is a great gift, we'd invite them to come with us, because we love Rome and would be glad to share it with those for whom it is accessible.
That it's expensive is why we're doing a raffle to be able to invite a pillar reader to come along with us for free, including airfare.
