I'm ready to book our air portion of this trip. I'm also wondering if booking a 'package deal' would help save us a bit of money. I know with some 'deals', if you just used their hotel for just one or two nights, then do the rest on your own - it can save some money.
It sounds very good to me. Airfares are up this year. Depends on the "package". They are all different. Also, before purchasing a package find out what it includes and if you can make reservations in advance or not. You definitely want to be able to make reservations in July/Aug. Some packages do not allow that. It is more difficult to use B&B vouchers in season. Sort of like using frequent flyer miles. The space may not be available at the particular B&B you want.
