Best place to book fllights to the States

Hi Marielb, I'm actually a Go Holidays Approved Travel Broker as well as a Mum to my 3 girls, so I could give you a quote for Mike Henry travel insurance if you want to just send me a private message. I promise absolutely no pressure to buy though, just might give you a idea of the cost!

Wow, that was cheap Mummy_Becks!

Thanks for the ideas girls :)

We booked on travelocity.com, and I don't know if they organise travel insurance too.

Thanks for the tip about Anaheim, linda. We want to be close to where the touristy things are (the Hollywood sign, the stars, Rodeo Drive.....), is that close???

:)

That's no problem Marie, just as long as you get good cover insurance from somewhere! With regard to staying in Anaheim, I know that the accommodation costs are cheaper down there, but the touristy things you mentioned are no where near Anaheim. It sounds like you want to see Hollywood and Beverley Hills which are at least an hour north of Anaheim (can be much worse depending on traffic). If you choose to save money on your hotel going south to stay in Anaheim, you would then have to pay for the transport to get you up to Hollywood and back each day, not to mention the travelling time cutting into your day. By that stage you would most likely be close to the cost of a Santa Monica or West Hollywood hotel. So again, unless you have Disneyland in your itinerary I'd recommend staying more central than Anaheim. I hope this helps...you must be so excited! I lived in L.A. for 7 years on and off and although it's a big concrete jungle compared to our beautiful clean green N.Z., I still love it!
