SPENDING MONEY STINKS Travelling can get expensive, and I hate when things get expensive. Luckily, I’m not scared to risk my life on super low-cost and uncomfortable airlines, which is otherwise easily the most expensive part. In total, I only ended up paying $75 each way on Spirit airlines, and the Airbnb ended up getting refunded because of the angry man incident. For a vacation into the middle of nowhere Florida on Halloweekend, I feel like I did a good job of keeping costs low while still having a nice trip and staying in a wonderful place! Roundtrip Flight (PHL to ORL) → $150 Lyft (ORL to GAI) → $80/4 people, $20 each Megabus (GAI to ORL) → $15 Airbnb → $466/5 people, $93.20 each → $0 Food (Flaco’s, etc.) → $15 Other (Camera, CVS snacks, Ubers) → $30 Total: About $230 I packed very light, and next time I’m packing even lighter. everything I brought fit into a Kanken Mini backpack, and i even had extra clothes and items that I didn’t need at all. Point is, packing everything in your flight’s personal item as opposed to a carry-on or a che cked bag is very feasible, and makes carrying things spookily easy Next time I’m not going to bring my tablet (I brought it to use on the plane but ended up just sleeping), an extra outfit, or swimsuit (who has time to swim with so much music? You can swim anytime). But I do need to remember a portable charger for next time! 2 Pairs of Shorts 1 Athletic Shorts 1 T Shirt 1 Top 1 Dress 1 Belt Undergarments (can’t forget!)
