We stay away from high-end restaurants and look for where the locals go, food and service is usually better and you get the real feel for the location. December we'll be doing another month or so of travel.
High maintenance, absolutely, but honestly you don't save much travelling in and out. It was maybe $100 a day and for that we'd lose two full hours and massive hassle with two kids.

Prices are what they are, flights are high, hotels are insane and food is ABSOLUTELY PREPOSTEROUS. A basic lunch, say three burgers (kids split one), 2 pops, glass of wine and a beer is nudging $200.
