Cliff notes: We were going to take DS and his best friend to Orlando next month during the school's conference week. They would only miss 3 days of school, I had a TON of military discounts coming my way, WAS going to be a cheap trip.Now, the school changed their calendar and the week we were going to go is no longer conference week, and we won't take the boys out of school for 6 days. They are HS freshman.Sooo - we have spent a boatload of $$ to change the trip to Christmas break. The price has more than doubled.We will go to the Sanibel Island area for the 23-26th. The resorts are crazy expensive but everyone is over the holidays.Anyone know the area really well and can offer some ideas of where to stay? We are willing to look up to an hour away from the island if we have to. I also have to be able to come up with some kind of Christmas dinner for us - and we are very outside the box kind of people. We just wanted to go shelling for a couple of days.Thanks.
