We so cannot afford this luxury resort that we are honeymooning in. I mean, it was already a stretch for us to come here to start with and now that we are in paradise, with a $45 taxi ride to town, we have realized that $13 chips and salsa are not going to sustain us. Our lunch today wasn't enough to feed a church mouse and I'm not even going to tell you what it set us back. So we've been scheming, "If we eat the free included breakfast at 11 a.m., the cut off time, we can skip lunch completely and then if we just share an appetizer and our main meal and don't have dessert, we might be able to spend under $100 on dinner! And, leave hungry. But that's fine, because we gained weight the first part of our trip when our parents paid for all of our dinners."
A good example is tonight - a bbq on the beach. Amazing views. Spectacular food. None of which I can eat. They have not ONE meal that does not include fish or meat. And the meal tonight is $110 per person. All I will eat is salad. For $110.
So, we are going to ask the kitchen for a can opener and eat the can of fri chick (cold) that my mom brought us on Isla Mujeres. We are going to swallow our pride. Our bank account will thank us.
