Kevin was right to the point about his family vacationing to Florida. When the rest of the family arrives they all stayed at a cheap motel and the terrible rainy weather. Later Kate got a call from airport police and discovered that Kevin used Peter's credit card to check into the plaza hotel in New York City. The whole McCallister clan took the next flight out to NYC and became relived and happy again. As Kate mentioned: "they didn't like palm trees either"
