When I travel, I do not go out for dinner because it costs more money. Instead I will eat out only for lunch. If we need breakfast, we usually get a free continental breakfast at the hotel. If we travel by car, we will pack a ice chest and fill it with drinks and food items and eat out of our room.
When we were in New Orleans (before the hurricane hit), I also brought a table cloth and we stayed at a B&B. We moved the table onto the porch and had a wonderful simple dinner with champagne. You dont have a have a million bucks to live like you do!!! Enjoy life!
