I love to travel abroad but it has gotten very expensive. One way I save money on a bus tour is to bring much of my own food from home. Most of the time breakfast is provided but when the bus stops for lunch I use the time to sightsee or shop. I bring items to eat on the bus like cheese crackers, peanut butter, bottled water,, etc. Sometimes breakfast has fruit you can take with. Some hotels have microwaves and I also bring some microwaveable meals that don't need refrigeration for dinner, then maybe go out for ice cream. Food abroad is very expensive and this saves a lot on the trip.
When traveling at home, we always bring a cooler for cold drinks. This sure beats paying $1.00 at the hotel vending machine.
