Funny How That Happens

Thanks for all of your support re: the previous post. Even all you thin people, thank-you. :) You’re all great and you’re the reason that I love the RBF.

On to today’s news ….

I am fanatically searching for a beach holiday for my family for early next winter. If we put it to a vote, we’d be on a plane now, four to one.

My husband is being extremely practical about these matters, as he usually is. We need to pay for renos. We have swim club and perhaps minor hockey (eeek!) to pay for next year.

Yes, it all makes sense. Of course it does.

But I wannaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeach. :(

So, I went online to cheapzippyvacationsincanadianbucks or whatever it is, and found out that my family and I could go to Mexico to an all-inclusive four-star resort for just $299 per person. Wowza!

Funny, how in cheapzippyvacationsincanadianbucks-type math:

$299 x 5 persons (including one who eats like a hummingbird) = $5999

Funny how that happens.

I’ll have to get my beach in Penticton this summer, I guess. :)

My old boss did one of those vacations (the junk faxes we get at work for cheapovacations). After sending his money they kept telling him the hotel, or airline, or location wasn’t available. Every change cost him money, and he ran it up to $6K or so for 2 people before pulling the plug. It took him about 4 months to get his money back.

If it seems to good to be true, it probably is!
