The costs:
$2,200 for airline tickets including $400 for changing the return date.
$2,800 or about $100 per night for lodging
$667 for car rental through CarRentals.com - very cheap
$600 for gas
$500 for food over what we normally spend at home
$500 for admissions
$200 for car rentals and gas to get to and from the Dullas airport
$50 Gifts
$7,517 total or about $250 per day
Every thing was fairly priced. I have 4 small amounts to try to collect:
$60 on the car rental since we turned the car in 4 days early
$14 from South Africa as they charged us a bad conversion rate when we paid the extra $400 to change dates.
$20 from Hertz as they jacked up the daily rate when we changed.
$101 from the Jo-burg condo rental as they still have our deposit.
Now for the Jo burg condo story
