Cost
All prices are in GBP and include all fees, e.g. foreign currency transaction fees. The overall exchange rate (including all fees) is around £0.80/dollar.
Note: when paying large sums internationally, some cards will decline the transaction at first and send you a confirmation message. You may need to run the transaction again after confirming it. For large sums like MIND, I kept individual transactions under £5,000.

Grand total
Update 2024-06-26: I’ve now completed trip #4, and it’s looking like I’ll need 6 to complete lateral expansion and Invisalign, so another ~£2,000. MMA, tongue-tie release, and implants not included.
