27k was a pretty reasonable bid on 2. It assumes an expensive refrigerator, but stranger things have happened these days....
As for 1, I'll tell you what was expensive: Egypt. They don't offer Egypt often and it's because I don't think I've ever seen an Egypt trip on the show that didn't bust into five digit territory. Plus that one was 8 nights, the pyramids, the Nile....$$$$$$$$. Throw in the fact that Athens is almost never cheap either...I actually shaved almost 1k off my bid to get to 23.7 and am really not surprised that it was what it was, nor that it was greater than 2. Evidently the refrigerator in 2 was $$$$ which caused garfing, but really, the PT Cruiser is cheap, but it's not THAT cheap. Probably around 19k with those options.
Still, congratulations to everyone for not going over! Woo, for once almost everyone scores!
