...........with the price of holidays to Florida these days.
I know you can cut corners on in-direct flights and save £££ here and there but with Joshua's needs in mind we really have to look at direct flights and Premium Economy, for his health reasons.
Miles & money for next August comes in at £3244 or so just for flights only, car rental with usrentacar for a minivan is currently £561 - was £350 for this April's holiday.
A fly-drive with Virgin Holidays comes in at £5057.
PE adds about £1770 to the cost so that's one of the obvious reasons.
Adding say villa around a £1000 spending money, etc etc - cost is just getting crazy.
We love Florida and have been fortuntate to go many times, and whilst we can afford to go it is just getting to the stage now where it's far more than I want to pay...anyone else feel the same?
I am not asking for cost cutting ideas, just assuming many others are in the same situation, especially being restricted to summer holidays.
