best camping backpack 2013 image

I will be in Rome Italy for 9 days in July 2013. I was wondering how much spending money I should save up. It is my boyfriend and me, so enough spending money for two people.
Hotel is already booked and flight is done. Just need the spending money for food, sight seeing, souvenirs.
Answer
What will you need money for? Tourists that are backpacking and staying in cheap hostels can get by for around $100 per day, but that includes accommodations, meals, transportation, sightseeing and souvenirs. Hotels will cost more. I generally spend 100-150 euro a night just for hotels when I go out exploring. Here are some resources that can help you plan and check options and current prices for your trip:
http://www.fsitaliane.it/homepage_en.htm⦠- train schedules and prices if you want to take a day trip or two out of Rome during your stay. The trains are a great way to get around here. In places like Spain or here in Italy, railpasses are rarely worth the money.
http://www.venere.com/ - hotels/B&Bs - prices for the same hotel can vary hugely depending on the season and what local events are going on.
http://www.hostelbookers.com/ - hostels.
http://www.monasterystays.com/ - monasteries & convents that offer accommodations
You can also look into camping or couch surfing as cheaper alternatives for accommodations.
http://www.whatsonwhen.com/sisp/index.ht⦠- festivals, exhibitions and events

For sightseeing prices: check the websites for entrance fees for the museums & galleries you're interested in. I spend anywhere between nothing and 40 euro a day depending on exactly what I go to see when out exploring. For food, I spend around 25 to 50 euro for a meal, but you can eat for less. I was in Venice recently and paid 32 euro for lunch at Da Raffaele sitting at a canal side table with the gondolas passing by. Here in Italy, You can get a whole pizza for 8 to 13 euro or a pasta dish in the same range. Panini or pizza by the slice is less. For reference, a McDonalds McMenu classico (medium) is going for around 7.50 euro. While you can eat cheaply most of the time, I would recommend getting a good local meal from time to time; that's part of the overall experience that it would be a shame to miss. When I travel, I like to try the local specialties and the good restaurants. Shopping depends entirely on you.

How should I hike the Appalatchain trail?
Ll cool j
Me and my dad want to go on a three day hike on the Appalachian Trail. We need to know a list to bring, where we go to start the trail and if we can set up camp any where on the trail or if there are camp sites. Also if we can make a fire to cook our food.One last detail we live in Georgia.
Answer
Use a trail finder to pick the best part of the APT. As long as your on public lands you can camp anywhere you want as long as it is permitted. http://www.localhikes.com/
Stay away from the shelters and people you meet on the trail there is a norovirus going around and it's spreading like a wildfire amongst the APT hikers. Use sterile wipes on the pit toilets and don't touch anything in them.

Campfires may be restricted due to fire danger you will have to get a fire permit from the forest rangers office in the district you pick to hike in. Because of that in order to cook food you will need a backpackers stove
