Hiking Field Guide
Do you think this is too expensive for a trip to Florida?
There is a trip coming up at my school to go to Florida the week after we get out of school for summer vacation. When we go there we will go scuba diving, hiking, and science related activities. The trip costs $1,599 plus $99 enrollment fee. That includes the plane ticket to and from Florida, all meals, all admission fees, evening activities, field journals, the hotel room, the guide, transportation and all that kind of stuff. We will be staying there for 5 days and 4 nights. It says on the form that there will be 'quad occupancy'. What does that mean? Do you think this is to expensive? And by the way we are going to Florida from Virginia so it's not that far away.
i do think that is a little pricy especially so close. But also you are with the school and they always charge more.
