While picking up basics at Costco – bread, bananas, blueberries and wine – I noticed the sign for Costco Travel and checked if they could save me money on our last minute vacation.

This is what parenting, and traveling with kids is all about. Planning intentions were thrown out the window when Mirielle got really sick the week before we left. I am thankful the worst of her cold was the week before rather than during, but I was left with very little time to work on the Christmas trip. In fact, I was going by the seat of my pants most of the time (or more actually on the screen of my iPhone which I am so glad I bought.)

Photo Friday – Postcard Beach

Growing up, this was the view from the cabana we would rent most Sundays at the beach on Key Biscayne, across a bridge from Miami. Crandon was and still is the perfect kid beach.

While many use the new year to make resolutions, I make my travel wish list. The first weeks of the year, I look at last year’s spending and put together the new year’s budget. With finite funds, it is a lot easier to give up a new pair of shoes, cut subscriptions, or eat more pasta, when I can see where those savings will take me.
