[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]obviously this question needs more detail. weeklong vacation to where?

beach?
domestic?

Africa?
cruise?[/quote]
If you're taking "average weeklong" trips to Europe or Africa, the question is probably irrelevant.[/quote]

What? No one goes to Europe or Africa for a week? Ever?[/quote]
I wouldn't consider an average vacation to be one to Europe or Africa. That's not average. If it is for you, I don't think the cost is relevant. Understand?[/quote]

NP here.  You don't sound very creative.  I recently got $500 tickets to Europe.  The trip ended up much cheaper than the driving trip that we had been planning.  Just because you can't figure out how to do it doesn't mean that no one can.

NP here.  You sound kinda mean.  Putting aside the airfare (as we have - literally - more than a million miles in one account alone), just[b] food in Europe is extremely expensive.[/b]  I'm not talking about eating out at high end restaurants.  Gas is very expensive there if you're renting a car and if not, then your transportation budget (subways, trains, additional airfare, etc.) is quite high.  Try looking beyond your snark and holier than thou attitude!

NP. You may have literally more than a million miles, but you aren't that savvy. This statement is nonsensical.[/quote]

Why is it nonsensical?  Considering you have to eat on the go for nearly all meals, it IS expensive.  You're either paying for meals through your hotel or at a restaurant or on the go, but unlikely able to carry a cooler out on a daily basis), it is more expensive than eating here.  http://ee24.com/daily/analytics/the-most-expensive-and-cheap-european-countries-according-to-their-cost-of-living/  Read this article.  I doubt many people are going to the cheaper places in Europe (1. Macedonia
 2. Bosnia and Herzegovina
 3. Albania
 4. Serbia
 5. Romania
 6. Bulgaria
 7. Kosovo
 8. Montenegro
 9. Hungary
 10. Poland
 11. Turkey

Food is expensive ANYWHERE if you're eating on the go for every meal, meal after meal, after meal.  (Go eat at an amusement park and tell me if you think it is cheap.)[/quote]

carrying a cooler? "food is expensive anywhere"? eating at amusement parks?
seriously how do you travel? you've never found affordable cafes, plats du jour, or menus del dia in paris, madrid, lisbon, rome, etc? or do you only stick to the main tourist streets and disney theme parks?[/quote]

No, I've lived for months at a time in various cities overseas:  Corfu, a small town outside Paris, a small town outside Dublin, a small town outside Italy, as well as traveled throughout the world.  I still think traveling and buying food for every meal, even if you're in America is more expensive than eating at home.  If I eat at a café, regardless what I order, I'll spend more than if I made my own coffee and had a yogurt at home.  I don't care what street you're traveling on or in what country, that is true anywhere.[/quote]
