Flights with a few miles and a United credit for the whole thing was under £300 . It was too cheap and interesting not to go . They were all new destinations and ones I want to return to.
Going to just one destination now is a rare thing !

Likewise. The commonest thing said at work is “You will need a holiday after that”.
Air travel is cheap, car hire reasonable and the options huge. Everything works the same way and if you get a snag, you only need to ask.
When we first visited Florida (you could actually call it Disney) in 2005, I would have split my sides laughing if anybody had said that I would soon be going most years to the USA and effectively sticking pins in a map to do it. At that time, I was a lazy vacationer who used packages and favoured beaches.
Even Florida has been a massive eye opener once you think beyond Orlando with Pensacola, Destin, Venice, Naples, Everglades, Keys, Cocoa & Daytona Beaches, Dunellon etc. The deeper you research, the more you see and hence, visit.

Already we have 3 further USA trips in rather detailed planning with as yet, no dates.
