...my GF is budgeting $100 a day but that's too much for me I reckon - or rather i don't need to save that much
..didn't do budget on computer no...easy to do though .just horizantal line for each day .and 5 vertical lines : breakfast. lunch .dinner .after dinner drinks .and other. I kept a dairy last time to do a JBR that I never got around to finishing...even kept few reciepts ...so i can work out food costs pretty good i reckon - especially for areas we are revisiting. ...all the stuff like white water rafting and day trips I'll do at the tail end of trip depending on how the finances go. ...the hardest thing to work out is alcohol costs...but for a beer drinker it's not so bad...those cocktails can all add up though. glad i'm not worried about the wine like my girl.
also have to take into account coffee and juices with day meals....we're avoiding crappy hotel brekkies this time
