I am keeping my powder dry for my trip to Texas next week to see one of my good friends & Lee miller down in Austin. Then another trip to Milan / Rome (those hotels are expensive) at the end of the month. So I have exercised self control today! Haha

Airbnb?

Airbnb?

Between cleaning fees, and shorter stays, airbnbs are expensive! I have my hotel for Milan. Trying to figure out where in Rome I want to stay - tempted to stay by the central station even though the area isn’t as “nice” because it’s only 3 days & one of the mornings, I’ll take a quick trip to Naples for a half day trip.

If your looking to save money check out a hostel.

Lol, more power to people who do hostels. But thats not me Haha. I’ll figure it out, it just works out to be over 200/night. Long gone are the days when I could get a good hotel for under 100 in a big city.

Perfect. Especially in this ugly, rainy weather. Save the finer threads for tomorrow.

I’ve met good people from across the world staying at hostels. They are just as nice if not better than some of the European hotels. On my last trip abroad, my honeymoon, the wife and I used an Airbnb, hotel, and a hostel.

Drink it in man.

I agree! When I was working overseas I did the hostel thing while traveling and it was a blast not to mention affordable. I remember being just a block from a black sand beach in santorini greece!

Haha, well. I put my deposit & name down 2.5 years ago & forgot about it. Then I was going to Texas to see my buddy & figured I’d follow up. They said I can come in whenever to get my measurements done. So, who I’m fully expecting another 2 years to see the final product haha
