Transcript

So my husband and I just came back from the. Let's go over how much everything cost. All right, cuz I know some of you are. Take a guess right now. We stay there, five nights, four days. Guess. 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, 4,000, 5,000, $1000, $5,000? $5,000? $10,000? Okay. So, we said a black bear lodge, which I highly recommend, $5,000 $2,200. Flight were $6000. Okay, we paid for seats and a check bag. Now, here's the deal with flight. This year, my husband and I promised ourselves that we are not going to essentially keep out on flights. We're going to get the flight that we want, meaning the timing. We're going to do whatever we want for upgrading. We're not doing business class or first class though. I can't justify the to pay for that yet. Let's say yet, you know. Anyway, car rental 275 from Colorado, always. Gas, $82 bucks, groceries $335. Okay. Um yeah, that's like things for the lodge, right? Eating out 461 bucks. I'm going to put some of my favorite places in the cap and if you want to check it out. Shopping $111. I finally bought my Solomon hiking boots that I've always wanted. So yay, parking 24 bucks, catcider 300 for Little Benji. And Uber 150 bucks from into the airport. I'm going to tell you right now, moving forward, we will be putting our car at the airport. We're not going to use using Uberer anymore. For short trips. If it's less than a week, we're going to take our car up there. Total 5,654 for 5 days. It was totally worth it and we can't wait to be back again.
