Vacation, Adventure & Lessons Learned-part 1

It all started, when my sister wanted to go on a cruise. Something she always wanted to do.
She starts looking around the Internet, and came across, "CheapTrips.com". They had a "good package deal", for 563.00 plus 25.00 dollars for two extra people, plus port fees & taxes of 118.00 for my sister and me, 258.00 split between the other two. (We envited our friend Sandra and a friend of her's Linda to share this adventure with us.) This was for 3days, 2 nights in Orlando, including food. 3days, 2 nights in Ft. Lauderdale, including food and 3days, 2nights cruise to Nassau and a gift vacation voucher for 2 in Las Vagas and Vermont. Wow, what a deal. The trip also included, your choice of traveling, using your car, they will give you 100.00 for gas, or, you could fly, purchase your own plane tickets, and they will supply you with a rental car to keep until you're scheduled to return. Sounding better, isn't it? Now we are looking at the total cost for this trip for four people 964.00, plus plane fare, which we choose. Plane fare one way, 408.00 split 4ways, 334.00 coming back. That's 742.80 equalling 184.70 round trip, each. Still can't find a better deal than that anywhere! really?

That's a remarkable deal!

I've heard that prices are coming down on cruises, but that is excellent value!
