Stats for another tour. Tour of Northern New England.

The trip was nine days of riding. We stayed in hotels, motels or inns seven nights. One night at a friend's house. The costs we accounted for were for the hotels, most lunches on the road, snacks, nightly chocolate and whiskey, the cost of the vehicle, and the dinner stuff we brought to the potluck at our friend's. That came to $557 per person. Some of the places we stayed provided breakfast; I think we had breakfast out four times. We had dinner out for seven nights. So, I'm guessing that eating out cost about $270 per person. I think that's slightly high if anything. That gives a total cost of $827 per person for the trip. The Blue Ridge Bliss, all inclusive (seven days, six nights) camping trip we did last summer was $1100 per person. Doing it your self really does save a lot of money.

With the hotel/inn stays and all restaurant dinners, this trip was quite plush. On the other hand, both my wife and I missed the camping, and eating in restaurants for every dinner gets a little old after a while. We also missed the camaraderie of working with the group to make dinner in the evenings. So, plush is not always what we want.
