Cost:
Who wants to hear about a trip if it's to expensive to go yourself? I've always hated travel shows that show you an incredible location and never mention the price, or the price mentioned doesn't include taxes or fees which can be up to 25% in some areas. Or worst of all is when you check the price for yourself you find that prices are ridiculous and only for the super rich. These are the prices you'll get yourself from the vendor's website.

Planes, Hotels, and Rental Cars:
Planes:
Its about a 3 hour trip from RDU to Provo with one stop in Miami. We were given the option at check in to upgrade the leg from RDU to Miami for $100 a person. At firs we were going to say no, but then decided what the heck. This was definitely the want to start a vacation. Yes it was $200, but we got 2 breakfasts, the $60 bag fee for our 3rd bag was waved, and we got Baileys and coffees. I am definitely spoiled now.
Hotels:
Ocean Club West
Blue Horizon Resort
Both resorts were very nice, and totally differnt at the same time. The Room at the Ocean Club West was probably the best room I've ever stayed in and I absolutely loved how the bedroom opened on to the screen in porch. A spectacular view of the ocean. I would have wished for a couple more dinning options, but the food was good and the price not bad for the area.
The Blue Horizon simply a spectacular view, period. I was constantly amazed. Yes, its a pain to figure out your meals, and if you not the cooking type (like ourselves) its hard to get used to the idea you will be cooking your own food that you brought while on vacation, but this place is worth every hurdle.
Rental Cars:
No rental car required just use a taxi. When going to the airport is the only time they will pull the "per person" nonsense instead of just a flat trip rate. Taxi ride between hotels are $10-12 per trip
