Although I'm this side of the pond, I'd have to agree with you and Lilith, that seems an extortionate amount of money to pay for one person for a week in their own country.

I'm flying to the other side of the world on Sunday to stay in 5 luxury for a fortnight and it's costing about the same amount of money for all three of us as this trip is going to cost you.

I think it would be wise to see how far $3000 could take you and your son on vacation separately, and work from there.

Oh and I couldn't agree more with Maddy about reward and praise for high achievers.....been there, done it, bought the t-shirt.
