    So, due to money issues I'm buying my trip at the last minute. Every day it goes up by about $100. Today, it just passed the amount of money I will have in my account on Tuesday. Here is what I'm thinking...

    Booking a shorter vacation package (that I can afford with what I have on Tuesday) Saturday to some day earlier than Saturday. Then just changing my flight and extending my trip a couple days. I am getting my taxes back *while* I'm in cancun.

    Ideas? Here are the things I'm concerned with:

    Flight - the Jet Blue guys says $100 plus the price difference...which seems almost reasonable.

    Room - I'm booking through expedia and it shows the room (1 person) at $250 a night - would I still be able to get a price like that at the resort for extra days?

    What else do I need to worry about?

    Just that there are seats on a flight available when you want to leave.

    Ok. Don't do expedia. Check out funjet and to be honest...check the resort website.

    Actually, the resort has the same price per day ($242) as Orbitz. I would be booking through Orbitz because they use Jet Blue, which has the cheapest flight to cancun AND flies direct! Woot Woot!

    This is going to work out. I'm determined.

    Hey Roxie, I am booking at the last minute too and have been comparing prices through different sites. The cheapest that I have found is through cheapcaribbean.com. You should check them out.

    That's an odd amount - I plugged it in and it took $117 off. ?!?

    Weekday

    It's always cheaper for us to fly on Tuesdays and Thursdays, just a thought.
