Trip Damage

So, everything from the trip has finally cleared the credit card. I had to wait to assess the total damage until all the Canadian purchases posted so I could see how the exchange rate (and whatever fees Chase charges) flushed out.

So, the budget for our trip included Gas/Tolls/Parking, Food, Hotels, and Admission/Souvenirs. Since we charged a few meals to our room, my categorization of Food and Hotels is a little off, but we pretty much stuck to budget in total for those two categories - a litle over $3 over budget.

Small beans compared to the $350 unbudgeted GPS and map update replacement. Gah.

We were a little over on Gas/Tolls, but I included the total dollars we added to the EZ Pass partway through our trip and we still have $40 available there so that puts us actually slightly under budget if I only include what we used.

We had budgeted admission fees for Marineland and the Hershey tour, neither of which we did. So the one category we totally blew the budget on - Souvenirs - was a largely unbudgeted one. And most of the souvenir spending was at Hershey. Would that count as food? Heh. We also got reimbursed for the shot glasses we picked up along the way for Chris.

So, overall, not a complete failure. We tried to be responsible, but stupid Jill had to go and ruin everything...
