Vacation

Making decisions related to vacation fall in with the same lines of taking into consideration our current economic financial environment. To be financially responsible, we need to determine the trade-off between taking needed time off to rest versus not spending too much unnecessarily. Add to that, the need to use up expiring airline miles and the schedules of fellow travelers; planning a vacation can become complex. With my expiring miles, and having to use super saver award redemption, there are limited flights I can take. Add to that, the restrictions and preferences of those I would be traveling with; I really have limited options. I had narrowed it down to a New England cruise or a Panama cruise. Yet, because of the timing, not everyone can go and I don't really want to leave anyone by themselves during the holidays. And then, with black out airline dates, I might need to stay some extra days. So, I pray for wisdom in making the best decision, taking into account people's schedules, finances, timing, etc.
