Someone PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE answer these questions...
I went last year in March, so I know the surgery cost went up this year. Not sure by how much though.
My breakdown:
Surgery/hospital: $8500
Airfare: $350 per person - took a friend, so it was $700
Bamby: $300
Hotel Coral Jr. Suite (has bedroom, 2 beds and living room): @$1100 for 8 days (I added the $5.00 a day internet access)
Add meals and mad money for my friend, taxi rides and such, I paid out a total of $10,500.
I took more cash than I needed - around 300-400, but it was good to have it on hand. I made sure that I didn't have all my cash in one place just in case we were robbed. (not that it's happened to any of Dr. A's patients, but I'm just always cautious!)
