Clearly, after visiting The Bahamas I thought to myself, ‘hmmmm let me find somewhere even more expensive!‘
I am heading to the island of Bermuda this time.
Below is a photo of the budget breakdown I keep on my Excel spreadsheet:
My mom and I booked this flight back in March because we didn’t have a trip together this year and felt it was necessary to escape to a beach.
I thought the price was pretty good? I still can’t believe that this flight is HALF the time it took me to get to Vancouver, in my own country. That makes no sense, but whatever, I’m happy it is a quick trip to a beautiful place.
So cost of flight = $520.00 – roundtrip, direct, with carry-on luggage included.
I’m not even going to get into the cost of places to stay on Bermuda because it can get pretty wild. My mom and I wanted to keep this as cheap as possible, so we can spend money on food and beach instead.
Spoke to a couple of my Bermudian friends to make sure we would choose a decent location that was accessible on the island though.
The area we ended up choosing is called Paget.
My place to stay in New Orleans was pretty basic, and this one looks like it will be too.
It is small, has good reviews, but looks clean and has a nice view of the sunset.
The link for this AirBnB is here, if you’re interested. I will do a full review when I return.
For three nights it was $648.00, so $324.00 per person.
We didn’t book any excursions for this trip. We plan on just spending the entire time checking out the beaches, and maybe eating, if the budget fits things like sustenance. (Can you tell I’m traumatized from the cost of things in Nassau?)
For the spending money I chose $500.00. That is $350.00 USD and I doubt it will be enough for here, but I figured it was a good place to start.
Will report back on if this was even close to being enough when I return. Pray for me.
The total budget for this trip is $1344.00 Canadian for me.
Again, I doubt the spending money will be the actual amount. I expect it to be more. I know I will see some random seafood restaurant and wander in there with no regard for my wallet.
See you when I get back……

I love when you do these breakdown blog posts! It really puts things into perspective!
Thank you so much for the compliment!! I figured transparency is best so people can have SOME idea of what to expect.
