[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This obviously depends on location. For example, I can definitely take a New England road trip staying in cheap hotels and eating inexpensive food more cheaply than any trip to Europe could possibly be.

Plane tickets— even “cheap ones”— to Europe are expensive, compared to driving your own car to many destinations in the US.

As a kid, my family would spend two days driving across the country to stay with family. The only lodging we paid for was one night in a hotel each way. We could not have afforded to all fly to Europe (or anywhere). [/quote]

Food is a wash.  You can eat cheaply in both places.  But have you priced out road trip hotels lately?  Hundreds a night for what would have been $85 six dollars ago.  For crappy chains.  Doesn't take long for the expenses to even out.  If you'r road tripping for a week and not camping, I'd suspect Europe would still be cheaper.[/quote]

We went to Williamsburg and Norfolk a couple of times last year and paid from about $90-$130 a night at hotels including breakfast. Even [b]in NYC Times Square, I find decent hotels for ~$200 or per night with advance planning[/b].  Maybe I could find them cheaply in Europe, too, but the flights are still there. [/quote]

Not in 2025- you can't get a room at a place rated better than 4.0 on Google Maps anywhere in Manhattan south of 59th St for under $400.  In midtown $500 is the minimum.[/quote]

With a shared bathroom you can.[/quote]

That sounds fantastic 🙄[/quote]
