Back from vacation - adding up total cost

October 20th, 2008 at 09:41 pm

I am back from our month in Europe - and even with 25 nights of free accommodation between free hotel rooms(reward points) and friends we only had to pay for 5 nights of hotel rooms.
Yet our cost came to 10.7K!!!!!
It is a lot. We had fun though, and are inspired by what we saw to modify our lifestyle in many ways. I will write on it in more detail - it will be my big "Quality of Life" project to take place over the next few months.

Anyway, this time I was able to keep track of cost by using only one credit card and only one debit card for cash withdrawals. I also added up the cost of tickets we bought prior to leaving.

So now I really need to save more - to build back spent reserves. But there are some changes I want to make that will cost some money. It is always a balancing act.

    my dad, stepmum and little sister live hours away by plane, so i usually visit them once every two years (they visit me in the years between). they have such a different lifestyle compared to what i grew up with and how i live now, i like to make a few changes whenever i get back from holidays too. it's nice to take something back with you that will change your life for the better as well.

    I look forward to future posts about your trip, especially your "Quality of Life" project.
