[quote=Anonymous]Nanny again- I went to Italy a few months ago and stayed in a convent in Venice, right by the piazza San Marco for $40/night because I shared a room with my friend.  There's no need to spend 3600 euros for a week.  I'm sorry but not many people can afford that!!  At my former convent there were lots of families and it included breakfast.  You're never in your hotel when you travel, so I never ever pat more than $100 for a room.  I usually pay $60-70, even in Paris!  Last year I stayed on the outskirts and just took the metro s few stops.  My best friend lives in Europe and makes even less $$ than me, and she travelled with her 2 kids to meet me in rome.  She went on Ryan air the cheap airline for $60 for all 3 of them.  Our hotel wasn't glamorous, but we arent fancy people we just wanted to see the beauty of the city.  I don't care where I sleep when I travel, as long as there is a roof over my head.  When I travel with my boss we stay at the four seasons etc and I'm always feeling guilty ordering room service even though I'm allowed.  $20 for a soup?!  I try to get a room when I travel with a mini fridge and then you can eat really inexpesively.  I just eat out at night for dinners and neverfrrl deprived!  I'm going to Cambodia next month and then Vietnam for Xmas. I prioritize travel and will go without a lot of luxuries because I know travel has made me a better person.  Anyways not trying to be snarky at all, I'm a nanny so I know how  it feels when money is tight.  I really recommend joining one of those eshopping malls with the airlines because you can collect so many points.  I wait until I need a good amount of stuff then shop target online and then qualify for free shipping.  Every dollar counts, I get airmiles even for buying my boss' toilet paper!!  They are very wealthy so they know I collect airmiles when I do errands and they don't mind at all, in case anyone says what I'm doing is wrong.     [/quote]
