Trip Costs

Estimated Expenses

Final estimated trip cost was $6302.66 or $3151.33 per person. Keep in mind that it's hard to get exact amounts between paying cash for some things and conversion rates with transaction charges when using a credit card in Canada. We decided not to try and figure out the conversion rate since the US and Canadian dollars were very close to even when we took this trip. You can see a breakdown of daily costs on Google Docs.
