What does it cost?
This is one of the most common question on this board.

I have designed a Vacation Calculator. This calculator does not answer the cost of going to or staying in LOS, however, it does guide you in organising and in adding up all the expenses and setting a budget.

On this page there is also a sample of my own budget for my trip to LOS in February.

THERE is no way to calculate an average spend in los because we are all different

some of us are Fat Bastards 55555 who cant get enough alchahol inside ourselves even although in my case i dont drink at home !!!! overs stay off the drink and basically blow their money on the bgs

The other variation I use is to Loooong time the lady. Usually 5 to 7 days at a stretch at about 1,000 to 1500 / day + food. Works well for the lady and saves you$$$. Not that interested in only ST BG's and it doesn't give me the GF expierence I came looking for. Another newbie cruizenclyde

Very nice. I do my budget that way also, very similar. But it's gonna be tough for 1st timers, since they dont know how much they will need to spend.

I always budget more, in case i go over budget.

Cheers.

NO MATTER what you budget for take a couple of hundred pounds or euros extra because like me no matter what you take you will spend !

i usually arrive home with the price of a mars bar in my pocket !

I agree. In making (and using) this calculator I learned the the overall cost will probably be higher than you expect and that once you figure the travel and lodging expenses the difference between a little fun and a lot of fun is not that great for a trip of two weeks or less.
