Europe Trip Planning – The Budget v2

I spent some time updating my budget based on a few resources I have. The schedule has not changed but the prices have certainly gone up. Using Hotwire, Priceline and expedia.com, I have managed to create a more realistic hotel budget. I’m hoping that by bidding on Priceline, I’ll be able to shave the costs down a bit more. I’ll stay on the high side until that actually happens.

To date, my journey for two will cost. $9089.73 excluding the cost of activities we haven’t planned for. This does creep into my 1K contingency budget, but it’s a manageable amount. More planning to come as soon as the school work load goes lightens. It’ll be nice to have the flights booked by early April and just hotel booking during the month of April in between studying for exams.

I’m still looking for suggestions on things to do, places to stay and ways of cutting down on the overall cost. Ping me if you have any leads!
