Years of anticipation have dwindled down to just one day; we leave for our Family Vacation to Florida tomorrow! We are so excited, naturally, and so is the rest of the family that are also attending including Kelli’s parents and her sister & brother-in-law with their 3 children (ages 16, 11 and 8). Nine of us ready for the trip of a lifetime!
For the past 7 years we have all joined up to go on a family vacation which usually consisted of a 4-5 day time frame. We have visited many places including Chicago (twice!), Michigan’s Adventure, King’s Island, Toledo, etc. But we always wanted to hit Florida and more specifically Walt Disney World, Universal Studios & Sea World. With the children getting older and the health scare Kelli experienced earlier this year, we figured that there was no better time than the present. 2012 is the year!
Now, you know both of us well enough to realize that we are not going to be frivolous with our funds; frankly we can not be. We are on a limited budget and while we want this vacation to be phenomenal we also know we want to spend smart. We’ll be hunting down ways to save on everything from car rentals to accommodations to time in the parks.
We invite you to follow us along as we embark on our travels. We plan to share with you any money saving tips for travel we come across with the hopes that you will find them useful when you travel as well.
