    February 2008 was only a 7 day holiday and it was not quite a last minute affair. It was booked in December 2007.The flight prices were what finally help me make the final decision that pushed my family of four to leave England for the sunshine state. We travelled on a direct flight from Gatwick to Sanford Airport, with My Travel, now part of the Thomas Cook group. The price was under £1100 all in for four people. However the down side was that I had to take my 8 year old son Jack out of school for a week. A letter to the school in advance was accepted and not questioned. It  Was that time again to trade cold wet weather for the all year round sunshine of Florida our second home.

    I normally book my park tickets over the net with one of the big named companies. I usually pay by credit card in sterling and have the tickets sent directly to my home address. This year I used the link on the Silver Creek web site to Billy Boy’s Discount Tickets! I think the prices were very reasonable and found a deal for a seven day ticket to Universal Studios and the Island Of Adventure. I had the option of paying in pounds or dollars. I have an American credit card and decided that this was the best and cheapest way to pay for the tickets. The tickets would not be sent to me direct, but would be collected on my arrival at the Parks by entering your credit card into one of the many machines at the entrance. I was a little sceptical about this, but on my arrival I had my tickets in seconds! This was a very easy and painless exercise and would be quite happy to recommend this company. We spent 5 days using the two parks and had a really good time, I am sure further articles will follow on this topic, but If I have one thing to add about a weeks holiday in Florida and that is a week is just not long enough especially with the kids!
