We reserved all of our lodging for $350 each... it's about 10,000-11,000 mile trip... I'm estimating 11,000 to be safe... and I'm estimating a few mpg less than I actually get at $3.75 a gallon to be safe (think we get that high?). We're guessing $25 per person per day for food and we're still trying to figure out costs for activities.

Are we being a little too ambitious?

What do you guys think we should save for gas+food+activities?

Appreciate it. I will link to a photoblog as I'm on the road.
