"Rich", is all relative isn't it? 
I am "rich" with loving vacations away from our daily stressors.
DH goes skiing and hiking and hang gliding as his de-stressor.
He went skiing yesterday and today.
I am going to be working my rear off for the next four months in hopes we can afford to go to an all-inclusive with three other families from our homwtown (in March).
When the kids are in ski lessons every Saturday starting in January, I will trying to pick up extra shifts to help pay for my vacation madness.
Last winter was very busy and that is the only reason we could chum up the DCL $$$.
"She works hard for the money".....that really was a gooney song, wasn't it?

It made tipping at the end easy - no one got more than the reccomended amount and that is unusual for us.
)...on this trip the oddity was our flight (or perhaps i should say "flights") to orlando. i had originaly booked from sacramento to lax, and lax straight through to orlando (about as close as i can get to a direct flight at a good price). well, we arrived for our sacramento flight and learned that southwest had added a short stopover in houston (just a few minutes to drop off/pick up a few passengers). o.k. no major issue....then as we begin to land we notice fire engines, ambulances and emergency equipment on the runway (i'm thinking and praying "please don't let them be waiting for us"). apparantly a small commuter plane had crashed a little prior to our arrival and what we were seeing was the clean up, we became the clean up airplane for the passengers. a bunch of people were loaded on and we began to head for NOT ORLANDO but NEW ORLEANS! yup, we got to land at the recently reopened (still caked in muds, filled with tents and equipment) new orleans airport. it was a fascinating experience-as we made our approach we could see the levees that had been repaired, the still mud filled streets, and scads of houses covered with blue tarps (our new passengers explained that this indicated a fema inspection of the house had taken place). since our flight came from texas alot of the passengers were folks coming back home for the first time since being relocated-it was an experience we will never forget.
Later....
From talking with several members, I bet that will be one of the best decisions YOU have made since you guys hit Disney so often!
I'm doing an all lavender tree this year - ornaments, ribbons, etc. all have a lavender cast to them (with white ligts) ,,,so the green bands will stick out like a sore thumb - reminding us of the awesome trip we had!!!
great news!
