[quote=Anonymous]E Europe best for budgets of course but beyond that esp in summer month of Aug I just would not target Europe. June is fine but damn the heat in Aug!

I would look at the off the beaten path stuff.  There's small towns in Italy and France even UK.  It's a lot of research of course.  Trains are so convenient around the world and you will find what a difference that mean when traveling whether Europe or Asia. My teens love going away out of the US specifically because it's just a simpler way of travel!

I would take the approach of giving yourself maybe in another trip opportunity plenty of time to uncover the beautiful smaller towns.  It's also dependent on what you want to see and do of course but I'm not sure you get away if paying less than market to see a treasure if a place you know?  There's no free stuff and all that in life. It is what it is but the truck is to mix it up.  Often, I may splurge in a city because in a town that's less, $200 can get me a great deal still or there's less to really see and do so a pit stop for much less money of 1 night helps even out budget wise.  If you're strategic, that can help.

Again - it's a lot of work to budget I think.  It's one thing to simply go to a destination cheaper than another but good stuff will always cost you.  Just a matter of comparisons but between $500 v $400 over 1-2 nights isn't that big a deal if it's value added for the former.

I always shake my head about wanting to travel to high market places to find budget accommodations - that kind of stuff is really far and few in between.  You are so much better off looking at the big picture if balancing your budget with the priorities of what you want to see and do.  You just can't have it both ways. [/quote]
