The Master Plan

Over the next couple of days I will be sharing the details of our cross-country move to Davis California. But first, let's talk cash:

For the 2,955 mile trip, we've estimated spending 400 dollars on gasoline for our 2006 Toyota Camry, roughly 180 dollars on fast food, and 150 dollars on (pet friendly) lodging. Our family has given us 150 dollars for the move, which will be used for hotel stays. We also have $50 worth of gas cards. And along with nuts and gummybears, we will be taking mommy-made sandwiches with us.

Our pre-trip 'game' was to collect all the loose change we could, and then exchange it into cash, and then see how far we can get only buying food with that money. To date, we have $154.26 in food money. We'll see how far we can get; I plan on saying "In your FACE, Rachel Ray!!" At least fourteen times a day.
