Part 3: SUMMARY
The budget was very easy to stay within, especially as the food prices were set. I thought the hotel would be more expensive, but I was able to find a fairly nice hotel for a reasonable price. The internet was a great asset here. It would have taken me a lot longer than an hour to figure out flights and hotels. I probably would have had to go to a vacation agency in town somewhere. This has really simplified vacation planning. If I could change anything, I wouldn't have given us more options about where to go and what to do on a senior trip. The Disneyworld plan was too rigid.
