There was a lot I spent money on and came to regret, but my trips were kicked off that list when taking more got complicated. So glad I took them now! I stick with good hotels in good areas, which costs more, but it makes me feel safer. I also tried to limit going too far after dark which is problematic places where dinner is late, but I tend to graze while roaming around and aside from breakfast don’t do set meals when I travel.
Because we’re talking travel, how open are stores on Sundays in Canada? It always shocks me (and most Americans based on what I’ve overheard while abroad) that Europe is shuttered on Sundays. Here it’s all open except Chick-fil-a. When I was a kind things had limited hours on Sundays, but it gradually changed to being another Saturday lol.
