Damn you all to hell! All these vacation threads recently has me obsessing over getting back to the Caribbean; we were in Aruba only two months ago! I told hubs we'd go back in two years but now I'm thinking the Dominican Republic next year. I'm supposed to be hunkering down and saving for a house!

I agree: start looking at zillow or Redfin and going to open houses and that will have you back in track for saving on a house

They got me to set up a savings account specifically labeled Vacation to save for a more expensive trip. I've had several vacations recently and been able to cash flow them mostly, but a 2 week trip to Europe will be $$. I already have over $300 in less than a month by small monthly contributions and putting all over time pay and extra money from work trips in there. Just put in to get cc rewards pay out so another $55 will be going in there in a few days.

Look at zillow instead of travelocity? (ETA: Have a wonderful trip!!! ) I'm looking at both. I'm a multi-tasker! At this point it's all fantasy, but I have serious ants in my pants today!

No, we don't walk away. But when we're holding on to something precious, we run.

What's the deal with the Dominican Republic? It seems like everyone is going there lately. (I wouldn't mind going there myself, it just seems like a new trendy place for everyone to go to all of a sudden.)
As far as vacations are concerned, I'm really jealous hearing about all these great vacations lately. My kids are at an age that vacations turn out to be more trouble than they're worth. Maybe in about 2-3 years my youngest will be more cooperative.

Check out Travelzoo's Top 20, I just got a new email today. They always have great deals and since you don't have to travel around kids or school, your options are better for off-peak travel. eta: we went to the DR in Feb. 2013 and LOVED it!! Wish I was back here right now...

YOu can help me figure out kind of new washing machine to get. Don't worry about what kind of washing machine to get. You need to focus on where to get it and I think amishgal provided you with the answer to that most important of questions
