In the end, decided to fly to Jacksonville - where my in-laws live: £4,600 Not exactly a bargain still but the price difference is amazing. Flights to the USA are stupid prices at the moment.

NorfolkRam Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Hoping next year we're going to America for five weeks for the daughters op, fundraising permitting. If not, probably a day out in Yarmouth ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 £4600 to see the in laws, I would pay that not to see them. I’m joking obviously if the missus sees this. I would pay £9200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The missus and I have always loved the sun and can sit in it for 9 hours a day. This was pretty much our holiday routine, roast all day, then out for the evening for good food and wine. She has now had a couple of moles removed and the sun part is going to have to take a back seat going forward. She still likes to chill in the shade but boredom soon kicks in and she gets restless. Is it just me or have holiday prices taken a real hike for next year. Looked at a safari, min £3.5k each. Crusing has gone up as well although still probably the best value. Also struggling when to go. She wanted a week at the end of May in Kalkan but that's Play Off final week. No chance. Easter you have to travel to get the heat. She's a teacher, so tied on dates. What's everyone doing next year? So that really is you in your profile picture ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to catching up with friends there over a couple of weeks. Helps to not have to pay for a hotel mind, they're expensive as hell in that place.
