Money, Money, Money!

Well, it's been a couple of months since I've added any news, but that doesn't mean that nothing has been going on. This summer my friends and I have spent a tremendous amount of time online researching the places that we would like to visit and learning how to use a currency converter to determine what the attractions are going to cost in U.S. dollars. With that in mind, I thought that I might give a run down so far of the amount of money that the trip has cost up to this point.

There are many helpful websites out that can help a traveler make decisions on attractions, transportation, and dining. I'll cover some of those in my next post. We're down to under seven weeks and there is so much left to do!
