Holiday Planning & Organisation: Booking

Yesterday my boyfriend and I walked into a travel agents to get a feel for prices, and walked out almost 3 hours later with a holiday! Usually I'd say this was crazy, but it's a holiday we've been talking about for at least 2 years now, and sometimes in life you just have to go for it. When else am I going to be able to?

We're off to America for 2 weeks, Orlando, Miami & New York!

When booking a holiday it's best to go in with a basic idea of what you want. I've been shopping around to do Orlando & Miami for a while now, so had a rough idea of prices. Unfortunately, not many online travel agents can give you a straight price and all the details. I'd recommend just going into a store, they do all the hard work for you and the holiday is customised however you like! New York was an extra bonus for us, we would have had to get an indirect flight via there anyway so said we may as well stay over for a few nights too.

We used Thomson to build the holiday, then they use Jetsave who are multi-centre Florida specialists. We could choose any day, any hotel which we liked and the holiday is created step by step. I'm not going to let you guys know how much we paid, but I will say it was surprisingly cheap considering the parks we want to do over there and all the travelling!

As soon as we got home I wrote everything straight into next years diary, with all the payment dates etc. so I know exactly where I'm up to and to remind myself of the paperwork which needs doing. This to me, makes the whole things finally seem real.
