For us as Canadians the sites might be totally different than what is out there for Americans or Europeans.<br /><br />Here is a blog post that he wrote about it. <a href="http://www.travelwithkevinandruth.com/2014/05/how-to-get-best-airfare-deals.html" rel="nofollow">www.travelwithkevinandruth.com/2014/05/how-to-get-best-airfare-deals.html</a>.

He saw one just the other day that was $279 CAD from Montreal, Canada to Mexico City return, and another one from Ottawa, Canada to Guayaquil, Ecuador for $269 CAD return. You just have know how and where to look for them and check for them each and every day. Because we haven't needed a flight out of Mexico, Kevin hasn't been checking those prices so we can't speak for that.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-79066754688956181142019-11-16T08:17:49.103-05:002019-11-16T08:17:49.103-05:00Yep, it is actually just a little under €100 per p...Yep, it is actually just a little under €100 per person per day, including the airfare. :-)<br /><br />Yes, we enjoyed the accommodation in both places but we have to admit the apartment was really nice, a little too big for us but it was nice to have a well set up kitchen considering that I cooked most of our dinner time meals and our breakfasts. We have missed Sherman though and are really happy to be back in him and hitting the road once again. :-)<br /><br />Is your unit left or righthand drive? We have no idea what we are doing next summer but it is possible that we may just buy a unit over in Europe and travel around. :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-44846662677019023882019-11-16T07:55:14.950-05:002019-11-16T07:55:14.950-05:00Considering that price includes the airfare we thi...Considering that price includes the airfare we think we did pretty good too.

Having said that we did splurge a little with the apartment that we got in Huaraz, I am sure that we could have spent less if we had stayed in a hostel but it was nice to just have our own place and on a nice quiet street. If you take away the airfare then, yes we spent less than $100 AUD a day for the two of us. It also goes to show that if you do things carefully and frugally, traveling can be cheaper that living in your own home. :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-58901321580097257742019-11-14T18:57:45.844-05:002019-11-14T18:57:45.844-05:00The airfares just don't seem to be out there a...The airfares just don't seem to be out there anymore. I did see a fare for San Antonio to San Diego the week before Christmas for $56 r/t.

Our Motorhome is up for sale as both beds you have to climb steps and need one with 2 single beds lower down. If we don’t sell we have a year or two before we really need to change.

We figure anything less than $100 AUD per day is good value and you sure beat that.
