Here's my Long-Awaited itinerary. It ended up costing me $4,137. It's lower than the $5,000 I wanted to pay, but it also doesn't get me to Tanzania and leaves me stranded in New Zealand (not the worst place to be stranded!). So if I go to Tanzania and actually decide to come back to the states, I'll probably be around $5,300 for airfare. At first, it seems high, but considering all the places I'll be going, I'm convinced the numbers will look pretty good in the end. Quick math. $5,300 for airfare. 300 or so days. under $18 per day... not a bad average. Not lookin too bad for the per day average...
On that note, I'm gonna be pretty detailed about expenditures, I hope. And will post occasional updates on money spent to keep me accountable so I stay conscious of costs...
