EUROPE OR BUST 2013
Estimate Only!
Dear Bodell Travelers:
I have taken costs from our trip four years ago and added a few quick numbers for this year on flight and Eurail and come up with round numbers of the following.
PER PERSON:
Flight: $1500
Rail Pass: (15 day) $700 (21 day) $900
Hotels and a few night trains: (20 nights) $800 (very shared rooms up to the night we slept 10 of us in the 7 dwarfs beds of Switzerland.)
Activities, entrance fees, buses, taxis, and miscellaneous expenses: $700
Food: not included in budget=starve or feast---but Kriss Whirlwind tour doesn't allow for much time to eat. Plus you have to eat whether you go to Europe or stay home so average that cost accordingly.
Round off to $4,000 per person with 40 months to departure= $100 a month per person.
Maybe add another $500 for a few years of inflation and souvenirs.
