Postcards from the Road!
Filed Under Travel and Entertainment
The Queen and I have reached our first destination, New Jersey, where friends await and the gas is cheaper — and they pump it for you! We came prepared with gas and gift cards from cash-back rewards, and we saved by figuring out how to fix a blown fuse ourselves.
We stayed at budget hotels along the road, splurged on Lottery tickets in most of the states we passed through, and joined a dozen of our childhood friends for a delicious family-style dinner and ate more than our fill for a very reasonable price. We used Dunkin’ Donuts coupons for a few discounted meals and free drinks and snacks, and munched on nutrition bars purchased by the dozen at Costco.
Between us, the total so far has been less than $300, of which real out-of-pocket cash was probably slightly more than half. This is a small savings over the current airfare costs, not including the luggage fees and airport transfers, and a huge savings over the AutoTrain, which would have cost us over $700 including us, the car and the accommodations.
We’re keeping a running total of money spent and money saved, and will keep you posted as the trip continues.
Here’s a little video of us taken along the way.
Let me warn you, it’s kind of nauseatingly shaky. But cute, we think!
