Is your budget enough?

Is CA$6,000 enough for a family trip to San Diego?
Not for this trip. San Diego starts around CA$6,286 for 4 people over 7 nights, so CA$6,000 would leave you short before you've spent anything on the ground.
Is CA$7,000 enough for a family trip to San Diego?
It can work, but it depends what you book. CA$7,000 sits inside the CA$6,286–CA$9,769 range — the cheaper end means compromises on flights or location, not bad luck.
Is CA$8,000 enough for a family trip to San Diego?
It can work, but it depends what you book. CA$8,000 sits inside the CA$6,286–CA$9,769 range — the cheaper end means compromises on flights or location, not bad luck.
Is CA$9,000 enough for a family trip to San Diego?
It can work, but it depends what you book. CA$9,000 sits inside the CA$6,286–CA$9,769 range — the cheaper end means compromises on flights or location, not bad luck.
Is CA$10,000 enough for a family trip to San Diego?
Comfortably. CA$10,000 clears the top of the CA$6,286–CA$9,769 range, which leaves room for a better location or a direct flight rather than the cheapest one.
