It’s time for vacation. I am trying to figure out how to work this, but I need the time away with hubby and no responsibilities. I need to get away with no laptop, even though it will be very difficult. Not checking emails for days will be hard to cope with. BUT, it is necessary. My life right now is all about work. This is not a healthy option and something I need to step away from.
I had an exchange student for a few weeks my sophomore year in high school and it was wonderful. She and I hit it off like sisters immediately. She even came to visit for over a month when I was pregnant with my second child. Hubby got along with her just as well.
Ever since meeting her I’ve wanted to jump on a plane and head over to Australia and enjoying all the country has to offer. I’d stay in some incredible Gold Coast hotels and resorts. I want to runaway to the outback and then right back to the beach resorts. But most of all I want to be in the sunshine.
I love going to conventions. Back when I was in only direct sales it was much easier to go. The big convention would be once a year and there would be smaller training conventions that were local. I’d always turn these into a slight vacation by having the family meet me after if it was close enough. Oof course you need to be careful about that as you can not write off any of the trip that was not business related, but the expensive part was getting there usually.
Well the closer we get to booking the more I back out of an expensive trip. I am too cheap for my own good. I know it will be worth the money, but I just have such a hard time spending a few thousand dollars instead of paying off bills.
So in my constant research of places to go I ended back up looking at Las Vegas hotel’s. We could run off and have a blast on a couple $1000 in vegas. That would give us money to go to shows which are what we really want to do. Hmm, may have to consider this as a viable option now. Am I ever going to get over my cheapness?
