Re: Holy Smokes! I'm going back to Negril!
Daisy,
Those are some really great ideas on saving up money for vacations! The irie box is a cute idea! Smart lady! I had to smile, cause if you think money is hard to set aside now,oh, just wait until those cute babies start coming, haha! Let me tell ya, kids are hella expensive! Much more than I ever realized they would be! But, they are ohhhh soooo worth it!:-) Enjoy your freedom now though! Vacations are a totally different vibe with the kids along.
I hope you have an incredibly amazing time with your family in August. You all deserve to be together and experience Jamaica along with your newly found family. Especially excited for your dad to be reunited with them! Just, wow! Now, don't you have some packing to go do?! lol :-)

As for our previous trips, We started a box. We call it "the Irie Box" - It requires a lot of sacrifice to raise the funds for our trips in that box. We sold our car. This is only possible because we live in San Francisco and It's a 30 minute walk to work for me. The car was a huge expense that was entirely unnecessary. Now I walk every day. I pack my lunches. We don't go out to fancy dinners or have weekend get-a-ways. We cancelled all subscriptions and our cable service. We rent and we don't have any children... YET.
We live a very simple life. This is what enabled us to travel.
