Good Evening Everyone. How are you? Here's my story for today. Vacations are expensive. But I still like to go on them. So here's what I am doing when it comes to vacations.
Vacation #1 Atlantic City for Labor Day weekend. The room in Caesars Hotel and casino is complimentary they are giving me 4 nights free because I use to play a lot when I had a job. For food we bring our own from home and we also look for discounted places to eat. Transportation it's only a 3 hour drive for us with gas and tolls we spend about $60 bucks round trip . So free room, meals from home and gas money. This whole vacation should cost us about $200 and that's with gambling. I have free play coupons that adds up to $50 for the two of us and a buy one get one free buffet at an AC casino.
Vacation #2 In September that last month I will be going on a Princess cruise to Canada from New York for 7 days. The Cruise was pretty pricey we are spending $3500 for a balcony room with a obstructed view no less. A balcony room with out the obstruction is way to expensive for me. . We have our room, food, entertainment in that price. Plus we got $200 on board credit that will pay for tips and extras like a tour in Canada. The only spending money we might need is about $1200.00 for the both of us. I can not see Canada costing that much. Since I will not be spending much for family and friends, hopefully they will have a 99 cent store for the stuff that I want to bring back.
Vacation #3 Vegas for the Holidays! We will be going in December. Jetblue Airlines had a great sale on airfare and it was killing me not to take advantage of it. From New York to Vegas it was $179 one way and $210 Return. I got 5 days for free at Ballys Las Vegas. I have to pay for the 2 extra days at $79 each day with taxes and resort fee we will be paying about $300 for the 7 days. The car that we will be using I have discount coupons for. Spending money will be no more then $2400.00 for the two of us. So with Airfare, Hotel and Car the cost of this trip should be around $1500. But the good part is that I won $1200 last year in Vegas that money will be used to off set the expenses of this new trip! So if you think about it this whole trip should only cost us about $300 in some odd dollars. This is not including food money and gambling which for food we go to their supermarkets which are Cheap.... I love them. We also eat off the strip where the off strip casinos are cheaper when it comes to food and gambling.
With all these trip coming up and me being a broke sister. It's time to put on my super cheap sister costume and enjoy my vacations while minding my money. I can do that! So what do you think?
