Back today! My vacation total is crazy.

November 19th, 2007 at 05:02 pm

We landed today at 6:00 am.

I just looked at our cash withdrawals and credit card statements we spent close to $8,400! - and we mostly stayed in youth hostels.

I was planning on much less - but Argentina is much more expensive than countries where we normally travel.

We also ate at best restaurants and did active stuff(glacier hiking, paragliding, horse riding, kayaking, camping/more hiking, etc). And 3 internal flights/and 3 overnight buses... And bought 2 expensive ski jackets (when you are freezing your priorities get rearranged fast) and a fantastic leather purse for my moms birthday. But still, that price tag is high.

Now I need to get into the money saving mode. It will be tough to give up nice wine. Frown

    How long were you there, though? It sounds like you got a great value for the money. I'm planning a 3-person trip to England for 10 days, and we're looking at $6000 as a frugal estimate, more if we want to eat at nice places and have some pints with our friends. The above price tag is just for plane fare, rental car and gas, hotels, and food. The dollar is weak, weak, weak in England!

    We were there for 1 month. We tried to get the best value whenever possible while enjoying ourselves.

    And we got double rooms in hostels, not dorm beds. And a bottle of nice wine with most dinners (very good value over there).
