Good job, Meaghan. Plan a vacation, while unemployed, to go to an expensive foreign country. And heck, while you're at it- stay a couple days in the #2 most expensive city in the world! $43 for lunch? Chump change.
I read this in an article today:
2. Oslo, Norway
Food: Lunch at a restaurant: $43
Can of beer from a grocer: $4.71
One kg of rice: $5.66
One dozen eggs: $6.72
Entertainment: Movie ticket: $16
Gulp....good thing we're going to be sleeping cheap. Camp grounds, overnight trains, fishing cabins, and hostels will hopefully offset the expense of...eating. Unfortunately, eating is something that is unavoidable, so here's hoping not every food item in Norway is costly.
In other Norway news, Andy and Sandy have booked tickets to come to Norway, too! They fly into Oslo a week after we do. Hopefully we can hammer out some plans while they're visiting Nashville this weekend so we can meet up in Norway and celebrate Sandy's Norwegian roots together. We'll have to do it over a hike or a fishing trip where we catch and cook our own fish, though. I don't think I'll be able to afford to eat.

I'm thinking you'll be taking lots of granola bars and meal replacement bars with you??
It will be an amazing trip- one that you'll remember for the rest of your life. Try not to stress too much about the cost.....
Great pictures from the trip, too. It was so nice to spend the week with you. Drew was talking about May-men this morning. :)
The best vacation of my life was one spent on a super tight budget. It will just make you extra creative!
Got your blog link from your posting on ours!! Ahh, we are the 10th most expensive city on that list;) Fun times. Gosh, I am super jealous of your Norway trip, we were supposed to be there this June with our friend Karla, but since Joe's injury, we had to cancel....next year though. Can't wait to read/see it all! Take care & all the best, l&j
You will do fine... Just don't plan on eating out. :- 9
