spare-no-expense lark Hello! What is the meaning of "a three-month spare-no-expense lark"? Does it fit in 19? Why? In May, he set out from New York City to Lisbon. In August, he ended his trip with a flight from Beijing to San Francisco. In between, Gross skipped around the world carrying his messenger bag, 18 _____ , a host of gadgets for staying in touch, and a list of contacts culled from friends and readers. Sounds sexy, but he wasn’t on 19 _____ . Gross is the paper’s “Frugal Traveller,” which means he has to operate on a tight budget. And, unlike a vacation, his time isn’t his own.

A "lark" in this case is a whimsy (flight of fancy), an idea that just comes to your head and you go with it. You don't necessarily have anything planned. So yes, it *does* fit. The idea was that he couldn't just go an expensive trip on a lark (on a whim) because he was on a budget, and his time wasn't for himself.

I'm fraid it does not fit there. "Holiday" might do. ╳

Spare no expense mean you can live as lavish a lifestyle as you please. A lark is a bit of fun. He was on a very tight budget, so he could not spend as much as he liked.
