[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you guys only flying business? We went to Italy in the late winter last year. 3 people (DC Poor). $1750 flights. AirBnb average of $90/night travel between Rome and Venice $250. We grocery shopped. Ate street vendor and small cafe type food. So first we book the flights. Biggest expense gone. Then Airbnb. Then we start a squirrel fund for in country dining and activities. [/quote]

Traveling in Europe in late winter prices for airfare and lodging are almost half what they are in the summer. A $90 Airbnb in Rome in the winter will be $200 from May-September. Similar for airfare- you probably got tickets for $600/person and its tough to beat $900-1000 to Italy in the summer. We do similarly to you for meals- eat in for breakfast, half and half packed meals and eating out for lunch, then mostly eat at simple places for dinner. But even with that you can easily spend $125/day on food for 2 adults and 2 kids. So food can add up quick. Although I guess you could really count it vs. what you would spend at home so maybe its not as much as you might think.[/quote]
