Got back from Colorado late Sunday night. Trying to get home was a nightmare with the snow and all. Well I did come home with $40 of the $100 I took on the trip. So all in all, my vacation only cost me $260 for 4 days. I decided not to go anywhere next month for the long President's Day weekend because I CAN NOT AFFORD IT! Ouch it hurts to say that but its true. I have other places I want to go and need to save for that.

I just booked a cruise to Mexico yesterday. I put down a $100 deposit, which I didn't put on a credit card. I have until the middle of May to pay the remaining $304.79 balance. I know that I will of course have to take spending money but the cruise isn't until July. Since the new law went into effect just yesterday, I'll now have to go get a passport.

Just found out tickets for Red Sox games go on sale this Saturday so I'm going to buy tickets to see them play the LA Angels in Boston in September. I'm a huge Red Sox fan and am crazy to fly 3,000 miles for a baseball game. I will be paying for these tickets with some extra money I got so at least I won't incur any more cc charges there. Boston won't be cheap but if I start saving some money now and when I book my trip in July I should have enough to pay for it in full.
