I'll have the details on the Tampa house

Off to Disney in April of next year and thinking about spending some time on the coast.

Thanks in advance!

Tampa is a really nice place as well. If you're looking for a house rental close to Tampa, please let me know. We stayed in a gorgeous house/area last Summer.

As for keeping looking back, its something that I've always done. If I'm happy with the fare, I book it -- but I look upon the rechecking as part of the research for the following years holiday.

Murph

p.s. are you getting AAAdvantage miles for your BA flight ?

Thanks Murphy, but we already have a villa sorted

We'll get BAEC miles for our BA flights which we usually transfer to Avios points.

I never check prices once I've booked a flight - I'd be too gutted if I found the price had dropped significantly! :eek:

Yay! How exciting!
I know it's not Murphy's bag but we LOVE all things Disney!
It's been too long since our last Disney 'fix' and that was an unplanned 5 days in Anaheim, courtesy of Eyjafjallajökull!:D

Here you go Neil

Lovely house, lots of room, pool that was easily made child safe. Dunedin was a gorgeous village/small town that had no 'chains'.
Nice area. Happy holiday times their !
The house is next to the bike trail. The house had bikes a plenty in the garage and a 'tag along' trailer could be hire from close by..
The childrens splashpark was one mile up the Bike trail and the Dunedin Bluejays played baseball one mile down the Bike trail the other way.
Kellys was a favourite breakfast place for us.
& Strachans Ice Cream parlour saw us on more than one occassion !

Highly recommended by the Big Cats & the Small Cats.

We only decided to do this a couple of weeks back. Was looking at tickets to Disneyland with a friend as he's going there this summer. Was somewhat shocked at the price! After I picked myself off the floor I saw "Under 3's are free". So, next April Chloe will be 2 years and 10 months, and Charlotte just coming up to 2. So ideal opportunity to go for "cheap". We're looking at a 10 day pass ($318 per adult). Flights would be free (Delta airmiles). Hotels would be free (Hilton Honors points). So it only be rental car / food / souvenirs that we'd be shelling out for.

Then go back there in 3 or 4 years when the girls are a little older!

Thanks for that. Looks good! I'll take a look into that website in more detail too. Could work for when we go to Hilton Head this May!

You've got me all excited about my holiday now. It's 2.30am. I just got up to check on some work I'm doing at the moment for 10 minutes. Looks like I'll be up a while longer now!

If I can help about the Dunedin area, please ask

p.s. I started booking up some of my hotels last night. Good stuff, isn't it ?

Murphy and Neil, you are putting me into a state of depression, boys!

We had made the decision to buy a condo in Tampa area; now DS and family have up and moved to the cold north!

We love the Tampa area and were only torn between Tarpon Springs and nearer the theme parks.

EDIT: love Dunedin, too.

Sounds like good plan!
