Summer Vaca... Part 2

So I've done some more specific research... in two different currencies even.

First, I came to the conclusion that Contiki 13 day trips were not do-able, when Mel only has 9 vacation days. Even when you add weekends, the day the trips start on all ended up going over that limit.

There is an interesting 8 day tour of Tuscany listed. So I investigated approximate costs for each person. Including airfare and assuming a $200 expense for incidentals...

Mel: $2,300
Clare: ($1,535) 815 Pounds
Me: $2,500

Other Option:

England: Assuming airfare and 50 Pounds a day living/traveling/fun money

Mel: $1,780
Clare : ($1000) 500 Pounds
Me: $1,880

So more commenty thingies! What do you think?
Other options?
