My honeymoon first time round in 2000. Can't remember cost but we went to South Pacific & Aus for 4 weeks. Was amazing. Not so amazing having to divorce him 10 years later though!

About £10K on Mexico. It was beyond amazing and worth every penny.

Two weeks in California and Las Vegas, three years ago. It was our last family holiday when our kids were 19 and 16, it was more expensive than it should've been because we booked two rooms in each hotel as we travelled around whereas we all stayed in the same room when they were younger.
I think it cost around £7000 with everything added in but it was a brilliant holiday and we wanted to do something special seeing as it'd probably be the last time that the four of us would go away together.

Cruise last week to the med. Booked a royal suite which was huge. It wasn't as expensive as some - it was £4400 for 2 but it was the most money I have spent on a holiday.

For price per day, it was the three night cruise on a small boat round a Scottish island, last year. It was absolutely wonderful.

OP, did you mean 800 or 8k?

I think my most expensive might have been 2 weeks in the Galapagos.

cheese I went to Vilamendhoo in 1999. Paid £800 for a week in Sri Lanka then onto the Maldives, both all inclusive. In hindsight I don’t know how we got that deal (apart from going to Sri Lanka which was a shit hole but hotel was fab)
