I know this may not be exactly as Martin states at the beginning but this is an awkward request. I am travelling back to the States in October this year and have to go to 2 different states. Itinerary for 2 people is as follows:

Dep - Glasgow, Intl 06/10/2008 to Phoenix, Arizona until dep of 15/10/2008 on to Orlando, Intl and departing 23/10/2008 return to Glasgow Intl.

Need accommodation in Phoenix but not in Orlando, need car hire in both. Okay so far?

Have found the best flight offer with Continental (1 stop) of £1215.80 for all flights for 2 people. I've found a compact rental with Alamo for Phoenix=£166.04 and Orlando=£146.87, Hertz is Phoenix=£163.01 and Orlando=£111.16. These are pre-paid/incl rates.

Accommodation in Phoenix I've had a quote as low as £14/per room per night (dont know if this includes sales tax, presume it does).

I have tried checking for fly/drive packages to Florida for the entire stay and adding a domestic flight, etc for phoenix - for this I would use the same info above but only for the Phoenix prices. Can't seem to get any cheap quotes for flydrive in Florida; possibly due to awkward dates. Am I better to book now or wait; if wait, how long? Can anybody do any better? Am considering changing Tesco points to either BA Miles or Airmiles - Airmiles has quoted requiring 50K miles for my flight request, haven't asked about BA Miles yet as they seem to have a different ratio on the Tesco Clubcard site for redemption. I NEED HELP!
