WWYD - take a trip or not?!?

[DVCBELLE]

So - we made a decision. DH was leaning toward a cruise but then I floated the idea of New York on his business trip and he LOVED it!! That way it will be a pretty low budget as we can go for 4 days and only pay one night of hotel.

He normally flies in for the conference on Sunday that starts early Monday morning and ends Tuesday afternoon. So we will fly in early Saturday and pay for one night of hotel - then we will have all day Sat. & Sun. together and I get to explore on my own for two days while he is in his conference! Then we will only have my airfare, one night of hotel and whatever we do in NYC!!

We also decided to splurge on a few things for our Disney trip in September! But all in all - budget ideas that will still celebrate our accomplishment!!

Do the trip to NYC with your husband...and add a day beyond his meetings so that he gets some time to be a tourist too.

He gets Sat & Sun before the conference begins on Monday - so we will definitely get to be tourists!!

Now to pick which Broadway show to see!!!

Good girl! A fun splurge, but a restrained one!

I go to NYC monthly (on the $1 bus!) and definitely enjoy running around there. You'll have a blast!

Keep up your great budget work and enjoy your trip(s)!

i will reiterate what everyone else said...lots to do in Vegas besides gambling. Just got back last night and I think I dropped a GRAND TOTAL of $4.00 in the slots. /QUOTE]

We spent $5.00, we went for other reasons. I can honestly say I wouldn't want to go back. There were slot machines everywhere....airport, restrooms! I would go to NYC and spend a few days, you can still stay on track with saving and have some fun!

Life is for living...

Hopefully, you have enough $ to live!!!
