The thing you need to do is cost out the holiday as a whole package - not just cost of flights in order to try and compare.

For Florida you'll need to add in (as appropriate)

UK Car parking / Taxi

Insurance

Park tickets

Car Hire

Accommodation

Spending money

Food

etc etc

So, the basic holiday may be a bit cheaper but by the time you add all the extras to make the trip worthwhile it may work out a lot more expensive.

florida for a week
international drive


flight and hotel with thomsons £379 x2
car with travelsupermarket £89
annual pass
annual insurance
spending money to include food £250 ( we don't do posh and take advantage of senior discounts}
live a local bus ride away from gatwick {granted not everybody is so lucky}


cyprus hotel and flight £300x2
car £85
spending money including food £300 {rate of exchang is awful}
the rest is the same

so just over £100 difference for the two of us

hello mickey i think!
