Sabrina’s Money Madness

None of my friends want to go where I want to go. We also have different ideas on when to travel so it looks like my 2012 trip will be solo.
The 1st dilemma is where to go. I really don’t have anywhere that I’m dying to go to. Right now I’m still into beach vacations […]

I want to take a really quick vacation this fall, but I don’t want to carry all of this extra weight around with me. It makes it very uncomfortable to sit in those small airline seats. While I have started watching what I eat and I’m also exercising, I may have to add some weight […]

As of right now I don’t think I’ll be able to justify going on vacation this year. I may be able to squeeze out a short trip later in the year but I almost certainly will not be going on a summer vacation this year.
I am, however, looking into doing a couple of super mini […]

I wanted to take a short trip lasting only a few days. I thought I could go on one of those casino junket type of trips. They’re generally cheaper than regular travel because you agree to gamble, which I do anyway. However when I called, I was told that they don’t offer single supplement trips. […]

I have it listed under gambling because it’s one of those “casino junket” type of trips. You go and gamble and they basically front you a lot of expenses. A weekend trip would cost me less than $400 and I desperately need a vacation right now. The only downside is that since I don’t plan […]

I am so jealous. They’ve been to Jamaica before and it’s their favorite destination. It’s pretty cool that it’s starting to get chilly here and they’re out in the warmth of the sun. The resort that they stayed at was brand new. It only opened in August of this year. I’ve asked my friend for […]

This time they’re from a hotel loyalty program that I’m a part of. Now considering that it takes tens of thousands of points to earn a free night, I won’t have to worry about getting a free night any time soon. But I can turn the points into gift cards or buy items from their website. […]

I mentioned the other day that Southwest and AirTran are merging. Actually Southwest is buying AirTran to be more accurate. Now I think Southwest is a great airline. They have a ton of trophies and awards for customer service, fare structures and their on-time arrival history. They also have the distinction of being one of the only airlines […]

And I couldn’t be happier. I absolutely love Southwest but they don’t fly internationally. Bummer right? Well not now. AirTran flys to Aruba, Cancun Mexico, Montego Bay Jamaica and several other places that I really want to go. The best part is that AirTran has free WiFi while Southwest has no baggage charges.
While I’m sure […]

I was talking to a few people at work and one of my cowokers was talking about the Outer Banks vacation rentals that him and his wife are looking into. They don’t want to go until after Easter so they can take advantage of the onsite pool. They’re looking at a huge rental that can fit about […]

I’m on vacation this week and I really wanted to go away for a few days. I didn’t play my cards right so I had to make alternative plans. I wanted to go on a short cruise but I didn’t have anyone to go with me on such short notice. There is a 3 night cruise that was pretty […]

But it looks like I won’t be going. We were undecided on a ski vacation and a trip to Jamaica. My friend decided for the group that it was going to be Jamaica for a weekend. Not a problem for me because I wouldn’t mind going for just a weekend. Then we saw the resort […]
