[quote=Anonymous]I don't know where you are going or what you are doing and if you have kids or not, by here are some general ideas.

As you know, save on food and not eating out or eating out cheap (try to stock up on non perishables - PB / bread, granola bars, apple sauce, etc.). Plan ahead so you're not starving with only one option around.

If you don't want to camp, stay in cheaper places and look on air bnb type things and see if you can get anything cheaper than hotels. Get only one hotel room if possible, even if you have kids with you. In my day (pre-kids), I have stayed at $5/night youth hostels abroad.

Some places you might want to go to have free / reduced admissions on certain days or certain times so you could look into that.

I very rarely buy food on the airplane.  If it's a long flight, food will be given to everyone, and if the flight is not that long you should be able to do without or bring your own.  Look into how much checking luggage costs before yoU get to the airport and adjust your packing as needed. [/quote]
