Also, you guys must be living in some other universe to me. I mean, budgeting £20,000 for a month for four in the USA including taxis to & from airports/flights (at peak time)/trains/Metro & bus fares/car (for about 3 weeks)/gas-petrol/parking/accommodation/food & drink/entrance to disney and other places which charge for entertainment/visas/laundry/other sundries, does not come cheap.
The total cost of my holiday before I even get there is approx £15000. That includes all (even Disney, Space Centre & Niagara Falls day out) except my budget for food and gas-petrol/parking/two trains/public transport/and other entertainment. I'm allowing myself about £5000 for that.
It's a holiday of a lifetime, so I didn't want to go over there for a week nor sleep in hostels/tents, nor just go walking in the woods every day. The furthest my daughter has been before is The lake District in northern England, for a week. I wanted to give her, not least her half-sister and my missus, something to remember before it's too late. It won't be happening again, for sure. Not with the kids, anyway. Not unless I win the lottery.
