Transportation – We are tracking inter-country transportation separately. In the case of the UK, we flew from Denpasar, Indonesia (Bali) to London, England for $1648.50 on Qatar Air.
Housing – You read that right – zero dollars! We completed two housesitting assignments and slept on Cousin Gideon’s floor the remaining nights. This made Wales & England one of our least expensive stops (who woulda guessed??).
Gear – New shoes for Anner (a girl needs new shoes now and then!) and renewing our Trusted Housesitters subscription to continue getting house-sitting assignments!
Postage – Shipped home two boxes of Balinese souvenirs and art.
