Flights to Florida

[sammi]

Boy am I getting discouraged by the prices of flights!

We've been very lucky in that every time we've gone to Florida the fare has been about $199.00 to $230.00! But since Sept. 11 and the sad demise of C-3000 they really do have us by the neck!

We're also thinking of driving down (we're planning for 3-4 weeks NEXT March/April). My question is....what is the traffic like going down and returning? I'm not a very relaxed passenger (I don't drive so DH will be doing it all) and is it anything like the beloved 401 going up north here in Ontario?

We're also thinking of flying out of Buffalo but it's got to be a really good price. Also I've noticed the car rentals have shot up too! We paid $600.00 CND for a 3 week rental from National (intermediate car) for last trip (Dec 2000) but wow that's also up! Ughhhh is there no help for us "poor" Canucks in trying to get a little more for our poor old looney? LOL

to ad836- we stayed in a hotel directly across from the airport-I think a Quality Inn and it included park and fly with a shuttle to the airport. It worked out fine. Check the airport website-they have a listing of hotels in the area. Bufflo flights have always worked well for us.

Have to be careful as to company you use and their restrictions. Cost adds up unfortunately based on any extra days over 7.

We bought a 9" TV/VCR with adapter 3-4 years ago and it fits in most larger cars with armrests or SUV's. Cost is maybe $350 cdn. Kids loved it and travel well with the distraction.

Can easily do 4 hours at a stretch, when kids are busy and there is a third row.
