How much money??????

First trip anywhere and trying to decide how much money we will need . We will be leaving Saturday night driving down and leaving the next Saturday coming back home.Two adults and 3 kids {14,11 and 9}. We plan on eating out once a day, going to Barefoot Landing, Broadway on the beach. I am sure there will be some shopping. My brother said they spent about $2500 two years ago for the same number of people, including thier room.

Also do most places take Visa? I do not want to carry alot of cash, so thinking useing my debit card is the way to go.

How much money??????

You will need about $2500 like your brother said.Most places do take visa.I feel this is a good option because if you pay with credit card you are less likely to spend a little here and there.The kids wont be able to Dollar you to death.Did you make a reservation some where?

How much money??????

That should be more than enough and yes most places take visa. except maybe the small food places down town. think about getting one of those plastic tubes you wear around your neck to keep cash and your card in they are water proof and you wont have to worry about it getting stolen or lost because its always with you.

The amount sounds right to me, we spend about 1000(that does not include or room) or more when we vacation there. We eat breakfast and lunch in our condo and eat out for dinner. We spend at least 250.00 at the grocery store (or more) We use our debit card, did not include gas here...

We travel with 4 kids (all boys of course 15,14,8 and 3) and 3 adults. I also have my debit card and I always have at least $1000 on it, ususally do not spend all but I like to have that incase money as two years we needed to flee hurricanes.
