Feeling sad - We decided to cancel our trip :(

Yup, we had a trip plannedfor October 26 - Nov. 1st, staying at PO-R for 2 nights then transferring to the AKL. We decided that the money we'vealready put towards the room would be better spent paying bills. It's a hard decision, but the right one for us - DH is a real estate appraiser, and his business is off by about 50%, and I work VERY p/t and stay home with our little guy. I don't post much, (as I'm often nursing at the keyboard!), but I've enjoyed reading many a TR and will have to live vicariously through them until the economy is stronger! Anyhow, I do feel good about paying down debt, and am confident that we'll feel good about not having to put this trip on our cc's. Thanks for listening!!!

Don't think of it as cancelling the trip but just postponing it for a better time.

I agree with Krisk, just thing of it as Postponing your trip for a bit. I know you are not the only one canceling and I know you won't be the last. Unfortunatly we are going into a bit of hard times, we all have to do what we have to do.

Sorry you are feeling so sad. It's hard when you have to make grown-up decisions like that.
