Mostly, we just don't travel by plane much anymore, due to the expense and the "pain in the butt" factor - especially with a toddler in tow.<br /><br />So, by keeping our vacations short and/or cheap (staycations), we can afford to do a nicer vacation once in awhile. Example: this year, we went camping a couple of nights twice, and we are staying home at Thanksgiving and Christmas.<br /><br />On the flip side, that saves us money so that we were able to go to Disneyland for a few days in March for my son's 8th birthday (paid for 4 people, including a hotel suite with kitchen), and a few days in San Diego/ Legoland.<br /><br />Next year our big summer trip is to visit family, so the cost is generally plane tickets and a one way rental car. My husband has been traveling so much for work that I think at least two of our four plane tickets should be free.Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13984899661746845414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-36331695615891522042014-10-22T01:54:40.059-07:002014-10-22T01:54:40.059-07:00This post mirrored how I operate.

I winter in Cen.Am. and while down here I live very frugally, unless I have guests from the U.S. This gives me spending money when it gives me the most pleasure and gives me the opportunity to share with family and friends in a very meaningful way.Terpsmanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-30931537029159308312014-10-21T15:16:31.625-07:002014-10-21T15:16:31.625-07:00To paraphrase (very loosely) John Donne "No t...To paraphrase (very loosely) John Donne "No tree is an island" Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-36845713097987795332014-10-21T08:58:15.146-07:002014-10-21T08:58:15.146-07:00Thanks Stuart!
