Just curious for you FIRE'd veterans who like to travel as I'm trying to anticipate and account for trips when my DW and I join you all.
How much did you spend on your last trip and where did you go?
I would be content to take several short 4 day jaunts from our homebase in any given year - lots to see in my neck of the woods of the USA.
But my wife would like to do some globe trotting - so I see a mix of future trips.
I figure a 4 day jaunt all told with hotel, nice meals, gas, daily expenses for entrance fees, souvenirs, coffee mugs, etc would be about $2K
Whereas a 7 day overseas trip would be closer to $6-$7K (we prefer not to stay at hostels, snatch stale croissants off of outside cafe tables, or walk 5 miles from the hotel to the site we want to see)
Would you care to share some 'actuals' from your trip expenses?
Thanks!
