did you drive your private plane?

Lodging near yellowstone is incredibly expensive. More expensive than anywhere else I've been for terrible accomodations. But, what can you do? It's a world class attraction.

Unbelievable.

Go read the fat travel Reddit.

Yeah this was ours too but for 3 people. Still was in the 30K range.

Also, I didn't add it all up but it was probably around 10K all told. Moving from place to place makes vacations more expensive

Tip to others who want to enjoy travel: never add all the costs up. It kills the joy.

Northern Italy and Switzerland. Trains. The Switzerland days were MUCH more expensive than the Northern Italy ones.

How do you do 10 days in Italy when the airfare is nearly 1K each? Was this 1999?

2019 - Tickets under 1k (dozens of good flights to Milan ~500-600 in Sept and Oct right now. Hotels around $100 a night and enough money for food, train tickets. Easy to travel on a budget if you are fine not staying in 4-5 star hotels or flying business/1st class.

No. I just took myself to a destination spa. 1 person, 15K. Worth every cent and I've been working since I was 12. NW sans house = 5m (but I have a spouse so my NW is more like 2.5m).

We took a trip for 4 that cost nearly 20K but it was two weeks, private guides, some 5star hotels, all inclusive. Also very worth it.

It would be interesting to figure out how you did that because it would be about 1000 to fly in 2000 for hotels so you only had $1000 for spending money?

Do you realize there are 21 days in three weeks? 21×200 equals $4200 just for hotels.

Most expensive is really relative to the amount we were making at the time. Considering that I think our most expensive was a three week trip to Germany, Austria and France that included a one week Vermont Bicycling trip through the wine country of southeastern France. Second would be the one I just booked for a cruise from Budapest to Germany (forget where) for next December. With add ons and air fare it’s about $4,500 PP.
