Travel woes :(

I'm so sorry, Lindsay. I know how much you love to travel to warm places in winter. You are right though, everything happens for a reason. So, maybe you are right, you'll need the money for something else - or maybe another great trip will come along unexpectedly!!!

That is too bad. I really want to go one a trip. Cancun next summer, I have never been.

Thanks to Marilyn's reply I have decided to save my money for a few more months and go to Europe in the fall

I have tons of vacation time saved up still and a lot of banked hours to use. A friend of mine a few years ago went to Europe for 4 weeks with Contiki Tours and loved it... it's a tour company for 18-35 year olds. I have found a 16 day tour that covers France, Monaco, Italy, Vatican City, Austria, Germany, Netherlands, and driving through Belgium. I would be flying in and out of London so I think I will also tack on the 3 day London tour which is pretty cheap, and since I'm already there I might as well! Anyways, I'm super excited and nervous about it, since I will be going alone, but what a great chance to meet other people from all around the world!

Lindsey, that sounds great!! And if your going with a tour of people around your age, you will get to know some of them quickly and it won't be like going alone. You may meet some friends for life. Sincerely hope it works out!!

One of my nieces went on a similar month long backpacking Europe about 3 years ago. She's still talking about her adventures!

I hope you get to take the trip. Of course, you can always come to Houston - fly down for the weekend!

Lindsey, that sounds like it would be a lot of fun!!!! You're a very independent girl!! I'm proud of you!!!

Lindsay, I think that sounds like a great trip - I know you will have a ball!!! I wouldn't mind traveling alone at all either, in fact, there are many times when I am traveling alone (usually for business) and I love it.

I'm glad that things worked out and that you are happy with your decision!!!

Now, I'm jealous, I've never been to Europe!!!
