@Yehuda's Israel/Eurotrip Honeymoon Trip Report

[TimT]

Hmmm. Where will it be? Maybe I'll also attend.

You don't know the basics yet ?

You don't know the basics yet ? 

Just for the schmooz.

[@Yehuda]

Yeah! I shmooz real good! And the DO aspect

[E-MAN]

Seems that the posts leading up to this conversation were deleted. Care to fill the rest of us in?
From the pieces I'm able to put together it seems that Yehuda is giving his own seminar and charging an entrance fee...

PM @Yehuda. If he wants he'll respond

Well, it only took about a million years, but I finally added up our total dollar cost, give or take a few dollar in case my exchange rates weren't perfect. This includes flights, hotels, trains, car rentals, buses, taxis, food and activities for 6 1/2 weeks.
$8,551.83

Wow! That's only $657.84/person/week or $93.98/person/day! Great job!!

Wow!
And in another million years, we're expecting the "what it would have cost without points" total

Thanks! I really didn't know what was reasonable to expect. I thought we could keep it at about $100 a day (not including the flights) but that wasn't based on any actual budget. We weren't particularly stingy nor spendy (I can't think of the actual English word to describe that), but yeah, I think it was a fair amount of money spent.

We also used 803,000 points and 6 cc nights.

Lol I don't think I can put that together. I don't know the dollar costs of my flights or hotels on the day that I booked them, but hey, let's just say it was a lot more. 5 nights at PHP is ~$5000 and a OW J ticket EWR-TLV is another couple of thousand. So let's say those two items alone add up to almost how much I actually spent in cash.

It's definitely not expensive. My daily cost was $154.31/person, but we only used 160k UA and 48,500 SPG.

Cool, okay. Nice comparison. Although, bringing in the miles you used isn't so comparable based on how many flights/days our trips were.

True, true. Still you did better.

[@Yehuda]

Eh, it's not a competition

I'm trying to give you a complement.

I know I know. Thanks
