  1. Great tips! It’s so easy to blow up the budget when we’re having fun. A list is a great way to keep track of everything.

    Great point Jodi. Multiply $10 to park your car by the number of days in your trip and you’ve added quite a chunk.

  3. If you fly – don’t forget the parking at the airport. Here in Boston, airport parking is crazy-expensive!
