Mom & Son: RTW Monthly Budget – Caribbean & Mexico November 2015
4 Weeks in the Caribbean & Mexico – What did we spend ?
OK so this was expected to be a very expensive month at $6,250, we had Grandparents traveling with us so we upped the accommodation quality and took a cruise 🙂
Monthly Expenses (Sept 2015 – Nov 2015):
Month Expenses Location Sep-15 $ 7550 UK & Spain Oct-15 $ 6150 USA Nov-15 $ 6250 Caribbean & Mexico
How did we spend those $6,250?
Accommodation was the killer this month but that’s to be expected when you take an all inclusive cruise around the Caribbean for 7 nights 😉 We also stayed in some pretty nice two bedroom apartments in Mexico on the beach (Tulum & Cancun) so yes this was a luxury month 🙂
Total expenses for November 2015 = $ 6,250.00

What about our daily expenses ?
Our daily average for accommodation was $110 which wasnt too bad considering the expense of the cruise week !
Food expense is way down because Mexico was cheap to eat out. Tacos, Guacamole & Margaritas 🙂

How much have we spent so far in 3 months and on what ?
