Road Trip Stats

When publishing our stats for April, I'd mentioned that our spending for May would likely be higher than normal seeing as nearly all our stays would be paid for with cash rather than points. As a result, I wasn't very confident about our ability to stay under budget. However, … [Read more...] about Road Trip Stats: Month 65 – May 2023

When publishing last month's stats, I'd mentioned that I wasn't sure how our budget would end up in April. Our accommodation spending was due to be low, but we were staying in St Louis and Kansas City and had a lot of places we wanted to eat and drink at. As a result, I'd … [Read more...] about Road Trip Stats: Month 64 – April 2023

If you're a regular reader, you'll know that each month we publish our road trip stats. We'd mentioned in our stats for December 2022 that we'd be combining our January and February 2023 stats because we were going to be overseas for a month during that time (see the first post … [Read more...] about Road Trip Stats: Months 61-63 – January-March 2023

Every January I like to publish a post sharing lots of different info and stats relating to our travel from the previous year; that includes both our 50 state road trip and overseas travel. For reference, here are our posts for previous years: 2021 2020 2019 … [Read more...] about Our Fifth Year Of Road Tripping – The Numbers

When Shae, Truffles and I set off on our 50 state road trip on January 1, 2018, it was meant to be a 5 year road trip. You don't have to be great at math to work out that this means that this latest edition of our road trip stats - month 60 - should be our last. It's … [Read more...] about Road Trip Stats: Month 60 – December 2022

After going way over budget in October, I'd been hoping that we'd manage to limit our spending a little more in November to get our spending back on track. Our accommodation spending was due to be lower than average, but that's not always a sign that we'll spend less in any … [Read more...] about Road Trip Stats: Month 59 – November 2022

After taking August and September off from the road trip to head overseas and do a few other things domestically, October saw us get back on the road, heading up to Pennsylvania. It ended up being a strangely expensive month. It didn't feel like we splurged in any particular … [Read more...] about Road Trip Stats: Month 58 – October 2022

We normally publish our Road Trip Stats posts every month, but there's been a two month gap since our last installment. Shae and I spent a month in Europe from early August to early September, so it didn't seem worth publishing a standalone stats post for August given we were … [Read more...] about Road Trip Stats: Months 56 & 57 – August & September 2022

July was a fairly busy month on our road trip. We finished visiting two more states - Nebraska and Iowa - and, most importantly, Shae completed RAGBRAI - a 462 mile bike ride from one side of Iowa to the other (more about that in a future post). Heading into July I was hopeful … [Read more...] about Road Trip Stats: Month 55 – July 2022

After having a fantastic month budget-wise in May, I was hoping that we'd manage to stay under budget again in June. I wasn't convinced we'd be able to do this though because our spending on accommodation was due to be higher last month. What would likely decide whether we … [Read more...] about Road Trip Stats: Month 54 – June 2022
