Space is the biggest challenge everywhere. And when you are a large group or family, trying to minimise gas consumption, you consolidate to one or two vehicles. RIGHT? Well, it makes it hard to pack all the things and groceries you would like to take with you for your weekend or weeks away. Yes there is the option of shopping locally when you have arrived, but seriously, most would just prefer to get it all done in advance, and sit and relax by the waters edge for the rest of the time. Lets face it, vacations go by so fast, youd rather spend it resting and not standing in line-ups at the local Wal-Mart or Super Centre, or at the Tims Drive Thru waiting for your coffee, because you forgot to pack coffee.
Lets not forget about the cost of groceries. When you are out of your element and travelling, groceries always seem to be much higher in cost in tourist bound locales. That can of chicken broth, would be $.89cents at your local market in your neighbourhood, but in this town, its almost $3.00. Youre captive and have no choice. You need it for your rice and noodles.
Space and cost challenges are one of the most frustrating aspects in enjoying a cottage vacation. In this article we will help you plan accordingly in advance of your departure to maximise your space issues in the car and even in the dwelling, while sticking to your budget for the majority of the week.
