We are trying to book soon so we know what we have to pay. FH wants to splurge since it's our HM. I would like to keep costs at a minimum.

Re: What is your HM costing you?
i thought what i wanted would be more but THANK GOD FMIL used her companies TA because otherwise we would never have gotten it for this price. I mean when i checked expedia and all those discount sites, the flights alone wouldve cost us close to 3k each BUT he used some discount of his own and all our flights are $2200 TOTAL for both so i was SHOCKED, considering we are flying from NY to barcelona, then barcelona to monaco/monte carlo and then monaco to new york, actually the airport closest to monaco is Nice. All non-stop flights and even got the shortest trip to barcelona which will be 7 hours.
We are doing barcelona for a week, and then heading to the french riviera in monaco for 5 days 4 nights. Again i wasnt sure if we'd be able to do monaco bc of how expensive it is there but he also got us a deal at a great hotel and also the hotel fh loves in barcelona is real pricey but this TA got us the whole HM for about 8k, actually just under 8k, its 7k and some
people thought i was crazy and that a HM to europe in 2 locations would cost us at least 15k and yes normally it wouldve but i said i would make it work. Both hotels are 5 star hotels so didnt sacrifice. Since i was a teenager i said for my HM i was going to go to the french riviera so im ecstatic that it all worked out

thank you, i know i was surprised too and did so much research to figure out prices. I am very happy with what this TA did, it is amazing hahaha. PLUS he did what we asked him without trying to persuade us into something else. I mean others were saying things like well would you consider this instead, or give us locations of completely different types of places. I tried to explain how we didnt want the caribbean or anything like that but thats what they were trying to suggest to us. I know some TA's specialize in certain areas, so if you cant do it just say so, that was annoying.
Yeah, and of course the dollar is even less now compared to the euro lol but what can you do. It just went up last week

Ours is about $2500 with flights and hotels. I assume we'll spend another $2500-$3K or so on food, exercusions, souvenirs, etc. (We are doing a lot of pricey things)
Where are you going?
Alaska! We are spending 5 nights at a hotel in Faribanks, which is kinda in the middle, and then one night at a hot springs resort, and then flying from fairbanks to anchorage and spending two nights there. we are hoping to go atv-ing or snowmobiling, dog sledding and also want to go to the arctic circle .. and in anchorage, we may take a flightseeing tour over the glaciers, but they are $$$$$ - like, $300 pp ... so I am not sure.

Re: What is your HM costing you?
With airfare we will probably be right around 5k. We are going to Disney for 4 nights (with deluxe meal plan), 2 nights in Old San Juan, PR, then taking a 7 night south Caribbean cruise (out of PR). We havent added any excursions yet but so far were right at our budget.
