Thank you for looking but I'm afraid we really would struggle to go for longer than 15 nights. DH runs his own business and I have been lucky to push for the 15 nights

2 adults 2 teens (15&12)

Good price but 2 adults & 2 teens in a convertible not sure that is a good idea have you seen how little room there is in the back and the boot is not great either.

You will struggle with the convertible I think here. We hired a Camero convert and with only two of us in it the only way we could fit our main cases in was to take the roof down and put then in the back seat. There is no way on this planet you will get 4 people and just hand luggage in to one. An option you may want to look at is 2 of you get a cab or uber back to hotel and your other half to drive the car.

Im sorry you guys misunderstood... I was commenting on a thread about good deals for flights etc. Sharing my prices for others to consider! I wasn’t after an opinion about our choice of car!
As it happens I have checked the boot space against my current car... a polo which we manage to get our luggage in this side of the Atlantic and it’s not much different, as to my ‘teens’ it was more to do with people looking at costs as one of them will only just be 12 and The other is 15!
I’m not trying to be rude just wanted to clarify a little.

Booked a week for my October half term on the BA website.

20/10 to 27/10 MAN to MIA, flights for two were £705 less I added a discount for using some miles, brought the price down to £470 ish, well pleased, cheaper than flying to Spain.

Planning a 4 night cruise and 3 nights in Miami or Fort Lauderdale I think.

Wow, our flights are out on Virgin. £4,500 direct or £2,750 (weirdly cheaper with a PE return flight than economy) for 2a/1c. Hoping it's going to come down a little from there!
