After 3 years I am going back to Orlando !
My boyfriend has just found out he had 3 months off from January to April so we have decided to go on holiday and as I have been so nice as to leave Mallorca and to move to Sharm el Sheikh for him he has said that we should go to Orlando !
Ok, so I need to plan. Here is the plan, we want to go early febuary 2004, spend 2 weeks in Orlando - staying somewhere on I drive. Then we want to fly to somewhere in California, havnt decided where yet and spend a month travelling round, Dave wants San Diego (guitars or something!) we both want LA (maybe including disney and universal!), then we need to fly home !
That is all we know so far and we are very flexible in what we do after Orlando, we have thought about driving up the east coast or something like that. All we know is that we want a bit of an adventure and a slightly different holiday. Budget - 10 - 12k all in.
So, this is what I need advice on....
1. Flights, whos cheapest? We want to fly direct to Florida but would take Miami or anywhere else as we would just build it into our trip.
2. Car hire, is it cheaper to get a flydrive or to sort out car hire completly sepratly?
3. Hotel - we stayed in Holiday Inn I drive last time but dont want to stay there again for 2 reasons, I stayed there with my last boyfriend and it might be weird and also my brother has stayed here 5 years in a row but said it had gone right down hill this year. But we do want to stay on I drive and we dont mind it not being the best hotel if its a good price.
4. Whats the weather like at this time of year? We dont mind it being hot as we have lived in Mallorca all summer and sharm for the first half of winter but we dont want it to be cold either, not so bad in the evening but its needs to be ok in the day.
5. Tickets, think it will be the 5 day hopper. then we need universal, do they still do the 14 day ticket for us, ioa, seaworld?
Ok so thats the first part of the trip !
2nd part,
2. we need internal flights but I dont really know where to start when its comes to them !! So advice please
3. Where would you go? We are very open to new ideas, we dont really know what we want to do so if someone suggested something completly new we would look into it !
OK, thinks thats it at the moment. Cant believe he has thrown this on me whilst I am in Egypt ! I dont have my books ! Argh ! Hes quite pleased I have a project as I am quite bored out here without a job (I shouldnt grumble!) so this will give me something to do !
Thanks
