... :lol: :lol: but my weakness is I do like a beer when I'm away with my smoke Just that it seems to me that in past trips at least a third of my budget has gone on expensive beers in the bars!!!. Your not the only one man, dont worry about that, although i do tend to have 1 night off the beer ...

... Dam?. I do tend to take my time on the first day as I dont smoke back home, so money saved there. My second day I start to settle into things so budget goes up but still below average.
