Reply to "Should a budget traveler "splurge" sometimes?"

Just as some people plan scaling a peak, or skiing a famous trail or some other peak experience, we always plan a splurge meal or two into our itineraries—especially in cities like Paris and Bologna that are especially famed for food.

 

On the one hand, the price is sometimes out of our comfort zone (please don't ask what we spent on our 35th anniversary!), but on the other, we are fairly frugal travelers otherwise, opting for comfortable apartments over luxury hotels, etc. It almost feels as if we've earned the splurge.

 

And when it works out well, you remember it—even taste it—forever.

 

 

The best part of every trip is realizing that it has upset your expectations
