Discussion of CIS-2015 details

I calculated my budget: me + wife + 2 children.
We need 48,500 rubles, assuming the conference hall rental will not exceed 625 rubles per day, and we are traveling by car (1600 km round trip).
It's more than I planned to spend, of course, but we'll try our best, as the desire to meet with everyone outweighs temporary financial difficulties...

Same here. Prepare for 65-70, and it will be fine. Of course, it's a significant amount for a family, but damn, I really want to go!!!))) So, we'll save on everything. All calculations are normal based on the information available. I also inquired about the place. The service, cleanliness, and comfort, along with the previously mentioned advantages, are worth it. And now, everything has really become more expensive. The mandatory fee is not ideal, but it's a business, and they are counting on it. Regarding alcohol, I suggest putting a couple of cases of something in the trunks of those who are driving. They will be parked on the premises. And we'll figure out how to discreetly and calmly get what we need at any time of day without arguing with the administration or undermining the organizers' authority. The banquet is also not expensive (considering what's included). And as mentioned above, we will definitely gather to celebrate the meeting and the opening, so why not have a banquet? Overall, it will be a great week! Let's throw a party that will be remembered for a lifetime! (For those comparing prices, according to a close friend who has his own travel agency and has been in the market for many years, a vacation in Turkey from April 30 to May 10, 5 stars, in Side, for a family of 4 costs 180,000 rubles.)
