I have two people to a room . The $ 80 room rate is the lowest I could find . With the conference going on that week , all the hotels have inflated their prices , they're making a killing .

I have budget $ 25 per Peron per day for food expenses . That totals another $ 800 . And for other incidentals , like take fees , and tips , I have estimated about $ 400 .

Well , that's only $ 4000 . Didn't you tell me your budget was $ 5000 ? Where is the rest of the money ?

That's my buffer ... I wanted to leave a little room in the budget , just in case---it's better to be safe than sorry .
