looks like i'm going to need some cheap travel tips soon!
the plane ticket, a few meals, and hotel are already covered (not out of my pocket thank goodness). however, tips for the doormen, transportation and snacks/entertainment are not.
luckily, this time around, i don't think there will be any real opportunity to head out in nashville and splurge...but i do know there will be a makeshift aoii store set up...and that is going to be hard to resist. especially since a lot of the items are reasonably priced...and, of course, darn right adorable.
this is going to be a true test of how successful this project is actually going to be. honestly, the day to day hasn't been too challenging just yet. i'm fine eating in for lunches and dinners...and keeping myself busy at home instead of wandering to the mall or target.
but travel is a different story altogether. growing up, vacations were limitless. no restraints on how much we'd spend on meals, souveniers, etc. in my own travels as an adult, and even just on weekend trips, there's still a sense of entitlement or maybe just of excitement. hey! i'm in a hotel! or in an airport! time to splurge!
time to rethink that...because ultimately, restraint will free up more money for the basics of a trip (flight, hotel, etc.) and make more frequent getaways more realistic.
espcially if i'm not dropping $300 on aoii tshirts, bags, and jewelery...so maybe it's not cheap travel tips i need for this one...maybe it's just restraint and self control...
