As a recent sojourner to the Big Apple, I have a good idea of how much damage a big city can do to a budget. We’re talking wrecking ball style demolition. Those of us in flyover country may be a little on the provincial side, but we can still spot a ridiculous waste of money, cosmopolitan hub of the universe or not. Traveling to a big city is exhilarating; seeing the architectural wonders, big blinky lights, and world-class shows puts a goofy grin on any corn-fed hick like myself. It’s even fun to get yelled at by a passerby.
Part of what makes traveling in a big city difficult is locals have enough to contend with aside from gawking, picture snapping fanny pack wearers who dare to occupy space on the pavement. If you travel to a densely populated area, beware that you’re not always welcome. Plus you will have to accustom yourself to close proximity. Steal squirts of instant hand sanitizer mid-transit to get a semblance of clean.
