I’m reading he asked you how much it was as opposed to plan it for me...
I always give out our ball park figure. I stress it includes EVERTHING from flights to park tickets, (free) food to insurance, spending money to night before hotel and car parking/train costs. I follow up with it can cost a lot more, and a lot less. What they then do with the information is up to them.

Really is how long is a piece of string type of question. Which should also be answered with a "warning" that this will be an annual cost not a once in a lifetime cost 😂😂
The prices can vary enormously depending on what you want, and what your expectations are, also with our visits to Florida I find the price escalates the more I research and read on the dibb with must do experiences etc.

Just an update - he has booked a package through TUI which is all inclusive of tickets etc - staying on I-drive.
He is happy with it but as a planner and DIYer I had to keep the 'how much you could have saved' thoughts to myself lol. Thank you all for your advice x

Package holidays can cost less. There have been several times in the past when we've booked a package holiday and I haven't found anything cheaper doing it myself. And I've also priced up things separately looking for the cheapest offer and taken that into a TA and asked them to match it.
This is for like-for-like comparison. Sure, you can book cheaper indirect flights instead of the direct flights in the package and save some money. Or swap to a different date outside the holidays which will be cheaper and save that way. Etc. Of course, a package holiday can also be more expensive as well.

When asked the dreaded question I tend to rely on "Whatever you think it might cost, double it, then be prepared to add more on top".
I usually add on something about, "Don't be conned by the glossy tv ads - you will be aching, hot, sweaty, grumpy, unimpressed, confused and full of regret by Day 3. And then you will rebook a week after returning home". |
