From the kids perspective

Kids, kids, kids - just for the record - we traveled with 9 kids - smallest was one and the eldest thirteen with following distribution (13/12/9/8/8/5/3/2/1). Hotels often gave us a hard time wanting to charge on a per person basis but if you search around, you get lucky.
