End Notes from Doug
We are not going to let the evil folks WIN by changing our travel Habits.
Well, I am home and figured out the cost.
Eating:
At home, Beulaville, NC, we eat out a couple of time each week and we spend $27.50 per day on all of our food cost.
On our Buenos Aires month trip, we ate out every lunch and dinner and we spend $37.00 per day
On this London trip, we ate all of our meals in house except 3 light meals and we spent $37.00 per day
We live GOOD all of the time.
Transport:
The $180 monthly bus and subway pass is the best deal if you are not living downtown. Center city is small enough to walk around. We had to allow one to 1 1/2 hours time for each performance.
Housing - We hit it lucky. I am going to try for behind the British Museum on our next trip.
Admissions:
The cheapest tickets are at the box offices and not Leister Square! Standing ticket or restricted view are part of the fun. You can sit at the intermission and usually find an empty seat. We spent $36 per day. Each admission averaged around $40.
