Costs...

Okay, so I touched on costs a bit in the air fare blog entry, but I thought I’d actually give everyone a breakdown. Early on in the preparations for this trip, I realized that, while things were expensive, they weren’t nearly as much as they might have been. With this in mind, I’m going to give you two columns—“Potential Cost” and “Actual Cost”.

Believe it or not, the difference between the two columns is $6,829 (though there are still more purchases that need to be made).

Some things are optional—the changeable tickets, for example—but I look at this list and am amazed!
