Cost to not cruise - August 2014

August brought a couple of notable events:  I traveled back to Washington for a 10 day 'work on Viking Star' session - and Kristi's folks both moved into a local nursing home.   Here is our cost summary for August:

Viking Star cost to NOT cruise - August 2014

Transportation was large, reflecting my trip (Car Rentals, Airline fees 'Oh, you wanted Ox on the plane?  Did you bring your own??') while Maintenance reflects local purchases as needed.  And of course, medical..

As a reminder Kristi and I took a '1 year' break to help out her folks, and it looks like that might be winding up.  Going forward things will be a bit dynamic for the next few months as we start to return to the Cruising life.  Likely we will be moving back in a couple of months, perhaps taking a 'road trip' to visit family - esp over the holidays.  But then it will be back to 'Normal' - what ever that is :-)





====================================================================

And now here is the standard explanation: If this is your 1st time looking at costs on our blog, and want some more background on why we are reporting what it costs to not-cruise on a cruising blog - well, we are taking a break by moving back to Minnesota to help out Kristi's folks.  And we thought it would be interesting to be able to compare our costs on Land vs. on Sea., see more here:   mvVikingStar.blogspot.com/.../cost-to-not-cruise-january

For reference here is a summary of what it did cost us to cruise last year:
