So the questions you are asking us is how much did it cost? Here is a breakdown of some of the overheads. I have not included any unnecessary overheads.
Description Person 1 Person 2 Person 3 Total
Plane flights can vary between 400 to 1000 each, we booked early and got good deals. 400.00 400.00 505.00 1305.00
Holiday Insurance. 70.00 44.00 65.00 179.00
Car + 57 pounds per extra driver. We had one extra driver. Note the car we had in the end was a free upgrade. 187.66 187.66 187.66 563.00
Fuel is a lot cheaper than in our country and it works out to about a pound per gallon, although the vehicle we where using only did 23 miles per USA gallon. We had original ordered a car but we got a free upgrade, which I'm glad about as I'm not sure we would have felt so good after 6400 miles. 93.33 93.33 93.33 280.00
Motels where on average around 50 pounds per night for a twin double bed room. 266.66 266.66 266.66 800.00
I've allowed 15 pounds per day / per person for food and drink, but you could get away with less, and I think me might have. 240.00 240.00 240.00 720.00
