Mom & Son: RTW Monthly Budget – Cuba & Hong Kong January 2016
2 Weeks in Cuba & 2 Weeks in Hong Kong – What did we spend ?
We spent a LOT again ! Back up to $5,600 this month. Cuba was cheap-ish but Hong Kong was majorly EXPENSIVE !

What about our daily expenses ?
Accommodation came in at $77 on average but that’s thanks to 2 weeks of cheap “Home-stays” in Cuba, our 2 weeks of HK hotels really pushed our budget up. $48 a day for food for both of us isn’t too bad considering its 3 meals a day !

How much have we spent so far in 5 months and on what ?
Our total expenses over 5 months average out at $5,900 per month which is still pretty high but I guess we’ve been in the Americas for 3.5 months which has been expensive.
