jamaica71594 Posted January 15, 2007 #1 Share Posted January 15, 2007 When we travel, I find that 50% of my vacation money is spent on food, and about 20% on shopping. The remainder is drinks or entertainment. If we rent a condo that 50% on food goes way down, so I will often splurge on shopping. On my upcoming cruise in April, I know at least 1/2 will be spent on shopping at the different ports, and the other on whatever.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaMARox1991 Posted January 15, 2007 #2 Share Posted January 15, 2007 We rented a condo for a week in Clearwater, FL for a week last July and took a 7 day cruise on Navigator in June. All in all, we paid around $4000 for Navigator with a balcony and three people. We paid around $5500 on the condo trip by the time we bought food, the cost of the condo, beach chairs, ect. After that trip we decided that we're not renting a condo anytime soon, cruises are more fun and so much cheaper. But, when we cruise, we probably spend about 40% on shopping, 20% on drinks, and the rest on excursions. On a land based vacation we usually spend about 60% on drinks/food, 20% on shopping and the rest on random things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted January 16, 2007 #3 Share Posted January 16, 2007 We hardly ever shop--not really into "trinkets"! Don't do many excursions any more, either! (Been there, done that) Most of our vacation $$ goes to food and drink, lodging, and depending where we are, gambling (Vegas, Atlantic City, Cruiseship, etc...) We do tend to like the better hotels, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
