After questioning the men over a five-hour period, police released them without charge. They resumed their holiday, but had to pay for a taxi to the home of a relative in New York that night, and forfeited the cost of a night’s accommodation in Orlando. They estimate the changed arrangements cost them $US245 ($318).
