Saturday + {Day Five: Financal Run-Down}

Since several people have asked us how much our trip is costing, I thought I'd keep a running list of expenditures; I'll rehash this in a larger post at the end, but I wanted to chime in periodically both for whoever is following this blog (if they're curious) and for ourselves. As you might have read, we had a little crisis when we missed our flight and had to rebook, but otherwise we've done a spectacular job of sticking to our budget. Fingers crossed.
