We have been talking about going on a vacation to some exotic location in 2007 for most of 2006. A friend of mine was planning on coming along and it was to be Our Last Big Hurrah -- our last big-deal vacation before we settle down and hopefully get to making some babies.
A month or so ago we decided that we couldn't afford a trip like this right now. Given that my employment situation has been pretty sketchy for most of this year it just wasn't feasible. This meant putting it off until at least the fall of 2007 if not spring 2008. If this trip was to remain Our Last Big Hurrah, this also meant that the baby-making was on hold until after that...
I was disappointed at this realization, but who can argue with the truth? It is what it is.
About the same time we decided we couldn't afford a trip of this nature my parents started talking about going on a cruise. My younger sister is a dancer and her dance company decided to sign up to perform on a cruise in February 2007. Mom and dad want to tag along and started harassing us to join them. We can't really afford a cruise either and I said so, but mom would not relent. Now, three weeks later my mom has offered to pay for our cruise and airfare.
Initially, I held my ground saying that we couldn't go and couldn't allow them to pay our way. (I have BIG issues about this because my other married sister seems to have ALL SORTS OF SHIT bought and paid for by the bank of mom and dad...).
But then I thought to myself "what the fuck am I saying? Am I crazy??"
If this is to be Our Last Big Hurrah, then I guess you know what comes next. ;-)
We sail February 17 out of New Orleans.
