    Hi there

    Got quotes below for holiday to Florida for our family to go for my sis wedding. This price is just for my family of 4 and my parents sharing a villa, (sister has worked her quote separately for now but may add 4 other adults, 1 infant and 1 child later but then we would require 3 villa's!) If anyone can beat quote below would be so so happy. Have started comparing results myself - minefield!! Sis getting married has to be departing 20th April, give or take 3 days.
