August 15, 2012 - Trip Planning

I began planning our summer trip last February.
Initially we were invited to go to Italy with a dear friend. I contemplated it, but the expense for 2 of us would have been upwards of 16,000 to 18,000.
I thought we could have a great time in Hawaii for less than half that.
But even $8000 was too much.
So we settled on Driving to Yellowstone and Nebraska and taking the kids.
I estimated this to be about $3000.
My guestimation back in February was fairly accurate.
As I crunched the numbers yesterday I was at $3125.00
Still a lot of money, but I think I can manage it.
And the kids get to join us,
And we get to see our oldest daughter and her family.
And we get to see old friends.
And...
The blessings will abound.

Someday though, I will get that illusive stamp in my passport book.
