Tentative Itinerary

Tentative Plans
(for 10-12 people)

December 30th – Drive down to Mobile, AL. (1000 miles, 16 hours).

Halfway is about Nashville, TN. (10 hours). Stay the night in Nashville.
*We can always make the decision to stay the night during the trip down
December 31st – Wake up early and finish the drive to Grandmas.
NYE – Party with the Bugg’s
January 1st – Spend the day in town, stay another night at the Bugg’s
January 2nd – Board the cruise at the earliest time available (ship leaves at 4pm, I believe boarding is at 11am)
January 2nd – 7th – Have fun!
January 7th – Leave the boat at 8am, start the drive back. Stop in Louisville, KY (10 hours), stay the night.
January 8th – Wake up, finish the drive back to EL/Rochester (6 hours)

Price
Cruise = $279
Hotel Rooms = $30/night (based on 3 rooms, 10 people)
Fuel (per car) – 2000 miles / 20 (miles/gal) = 100 gal * $2.50/gal = $250 / 4 people = $62.5 = about $65 per
person
= $279+27.9(tax)+60+65 = $431.9

Variables
Food (while driving and in Alabama) = $70-$150
Cruise drinks = $20-40/day * 5 days = $100-$200
Souvenirs = $50-$100
Shore Excursions = $0-$100 (most of them are around $99, go to the website for more details)
= $70+100+50 = $230 (underestimate)
= $150+200+100+100 = $550 (overestimate)

Roughly = $661.9 - $981.9

*All of these prices are the maximum that you would have to pay

*Assumptions
• Bugg’s family offers us a place to stay
• We are using 3 vehicles (preferably SUV’s)
• There are 4 people per car (could be 5 with SUV’s, but keep in mind we also need room for 10 days
worth of luggage)
• There will be 2 nights we stay in a hotel
