Maybe it's the cold meds but I think you may have just indicated that I have a bit of a problem.
Is it bad that I'm perfectly okay with that?
J/K. Right now the cruise vacations are a good fit for us on many levels. If I was totally opposed to any other travel I think I'd be worried. I'm just rollin' with the seasons of life. Plus, it's always in my mind that all but 1 of those future bookings are completely refundable until I hit the penalty phase. I'm never opposed to wiping them away in lieu of other things.
Still haven't made it to DLR. Killin me. That's exactly what I wanted for our anniversary in September. Stupid commitment to the big extended family hoopla on the Allure of the Seas ((See?? I'm going to vacation AWAY from Disney!)) for Thanksgiving seriously limits the fundage for this shoe-horned afterthought of a 20th anniversary getaway. Whatever we do, we want a week. Hubby must take a week away from his project in the fall to hit the manhour numbers they need. We want our first trip out to DL to be the way we want it. Unfortunately, we want it to be at the DLH. Just the cost of the hotel for 6 nights, no tickets or food, is only a few hundred less than booking a week long cruise where pretty much all expenses are covered PLUS we'd be walking into about $300 in spending money. Basically, going to DLR would cost us double what the cruise would. That's pretty hard to overcome when funds are limited. There's also logistical things...I'll already be in Central Florida the 2nd week of September so the hubby would just be joining me vs. fly home then both of us fly west a few days later. We only have so many rewards miles to burn.
All that said, I'm still asking myself if I want DLR enough to compromise and stay offsite. Ugh. I just hate thinking I'd get there and be pining for something more so then I'd need to go back to do it again. Like wanting to go back on the Fantasy because I felt like I left way too much undone. It's like a psychological gumbo, idn't it???? ROFLMAO!
Panama Canal. Wonder from Miami to San Diego sailing May 2, 2014. 15 nights. How's that for Faux Top One Percent? Don't even have to hunt down any disabled folks to impress your other faux one percenter friends.
**edit**
Literally just happened. Hubby got offered a job in Martinez, California. Mmmmm...much as I'd love to pounce it's just not enough money to cover the increase in living expense. But life is ever-changing so who knows? We may be on the moon come September, completely changing EVERYTHING. Ya just never know..
