In February, I flew down to Ft. Lauderdale. Cost me $250 round trip.
I went charter fishing one day with three other guys, cost me $275.
Cost *you* personally $275...or $275 each? There were 4 of us.
Just me.
One night of the hotel was around $300.
Which is more than the $250/night that I cited.
Yeah, and I got a "rate." It was a $500 a night room. Don't ask.
Ate maybe $50 of food that day, probably half that.
Once again, you're talking about just *you*. Multiply by the four of us.
I think your numbers are a bit off.
Yes, if you're only thinking about yourself.
By my calculations, your trip cost you $875 for two days and one
night...with a day of fishing.
My trip cost around $1400 but was divided by four people (actually 3 adults
and my son).
Actually, I have just as much fun on the the "head boat" charters out of
Haulover Inlet, since they only have to head a mile or so offshore for
some terrific fishing. Those run about $30 for a half day.
