Slightly off-topic, but I'm heading to Florida for a week! Thought it was somewhat relevant since this is a travel club haha. Haven't spent much time there beyond a day or so, so it should be fun. Definitely going to run us more than $500, but I imagine most trips do lol.
Unless you can try to come up with a budget, but it's most likely you might blow it anyways. xD HAVE FUN IN FLORIDA. I know it's gonna be so amazing in terms of weather.
I would've made a post-trip post (heh.), but I forgot so here it is:
I actually took out about $500 CAD in pesos for my trip to Mexico. Excluding accommodation (cuz that was expensive as ♥♥♥♥) I probably spent $200 on food, $60 on alcohol, $50 on taxis and transportation, $50 on souvenirs (and random stuff like a pair of shorts, pencils and paper and Mexican hair gel which is freaking awesome and oh so inexpensive). I lent my friend nearly $100 (in Canadian!) that I probably would have otherwise spent on alcohol >> nah jk. I'd spend most of the money on food, and not a lot on attractions x: I get a lot out of exploring a city on foot. Also, when you're in a place called not America, the government actually subsidizes historical attractions because history and culture matters. So there's plenty to see and do and eat at a low cost :P
Mexican hair gel is the shiz man. Even I use it, I must admit! And that was generous of you to lend your friend $100 for them to spend on anything. You might have made their trip 20% awesomeness. I'm so glad you had a muy excelente time over there, John!
It's been a little quiet here lately, so thought I should throw in a new topic. n_n"
If you were given the chance to fly to any country of your choosing for free, which would be your pick? Why would you select this? What are some things that you would do here? How long would you plan to stay? If you were allowed to take one person with you, who would you go with?
Thanks, Ashley!
oh dang, i love these "all expenses paid" trips. I just.... hnnggg.
If anything I'd give Japan a try, just to see what it's like. I could take my cousin over to check out the culture and atmosphere that Japan has. Japan is almost an 18 hour flight or so, and it costs more than $2000 for round trip, so I'll take that! :D
