*[https://www.seat61.com/Italy-trains.htm Seat61] - train travel
Original idea for trip near beginning of June 2018. Add on a trip to Italy. No dates decided, though needed to be Spring - Autumn, preferably Summer (Northern hemisphere) as fewer/less bulky clothes would be required. Easter is very late in 2019, and Easter travel in Philippines is not advisable, which made May - September most likely months.

Budget planning very difficult in advance. Initial estimate 8k for flights. Accommodation in Manila potentially free, est 200/night accommodation in Italy for 10 days plus 200/day spending. Low budget of 12k.

After investigation costs in Italy much higher with accommodation nearer 300/night, food costs and activities 300/day. Additionally a trip to Disneyland in HK plus activities in Manila added significantly to the budget. Airfares initially estimated too high though. Revised budget 20k.

====Budget Revision====

*Driving
As planning progressed a more accurate budget was able to be worked out. Initial savings target of 20k, then additional saving on top of that would make things more comfortable. As of March 2019 25k deemed minimum, target is 28k.
