you plan properly!
if you are really trying to watch your spending and stick to a tight budget, watch out for all the little extras that can creep up before, during and after your vacation!
shop your closet and see what fits before going out and buying all new clothes for your trip. if you need new items, shop second hand and as always watch for sales. even in the winter, stores have sales on summer stuff. and don’t forget to try everything on before you pack it up, make sure things from last season still fit.
if you are driving, i mentioned in my other post, to get a tune up. repairs
