Saving Time

The brother in law returned from California on Sunday (Easter) and got my wheels turning. What if we were able to pay of the credit cards and head down ourselves. Then while the bear was house sitting we received a notice of re-upping our lease and get a month free after signing. Hell there is $1000 right there and then we would have our tax return to boot. This got me thinking "how fast can I pay off the credit cards?" After doing some budgeting I realize that hypothetically I could have them paid off in 5 months. This would give us plenty of time to get our butts down there next May (2014) for a great trip. I mean fun, sun, relaxation and we only have to wait a year. Granted so much could happen with in that year, like for instance the Lodge down there could be on its way to being built and I might have to go down for job fairs and SWAT. If all goes well, I'll be relocated there in no time as a manager in some aspect. But thinking in the here and now, my plan seems plausible and all it will take is some will power and me saying NO!! Saving is my favorite thing to do when it comes to any of our trips because that means I get to budget and the bear gets to research. I know the saying why start now, well the reason is I'm getting a $60 pay per view this Sunday which means the bear needs his entertainment as well, so here is to the last hurrah before we buckle down and get serious. We need and want this trip to be amazing and the only way this is going to happen is to be strong.
