Many people have been asking me how we budget for a trip like this...we really didn't want to be on a strict budget per se, that said we are being mindful with our money, trying to save where we can, (eating most meals in the trailer, not giving in to every whim etc). I downloaded this amazing travel app (Trail wallet), breaks everything down for you (as long as you remember to input:)...
Our Canadian portion to this trip came in at a bit higher then I expected, I thought that because we were staying at campgrounds (average 30-60/night), and eating in most of the time, this portion of the trip would be on the low end. We gave ourselves $260/day budget and we did come a little under....bear in mind, we ate out when we wanted to, and really did almost everything on our list, from gondola rides to coasters to amazing restaurants to surf school...there was little we missed...
Grand total $7114.70- $229.51 per day- not bad for a family of 4
Broken down-
A whopping $2157 was spent on Transport -this included gas, ferries and public transit
$1269 on Accommodations- camp grounds- definitely the way to go
$1834 on food- this included groceries and resteraunts
$1239 ion entertainment
$613 on Miscellaneous (remember Anneka's new bike is included in this)
