As usual on a trip, I kept a small spiral notepad in my purse to record each day's expenditures, but I think I prefer David's approach. He looks at his bank statements to see how much money he withdrew from ATMs, subtracts any left-over money from that total, and, finally, adds pre-paid expenses (airline tickets, for example) to arrive at a final figure.
