take a 2 week trip to Italy
Some Research for My Trip 5 months ago

i found some information – links on Italy. The airport code is FCO.

This might actually be affordable someday. At the very least, I should start saving for it:

Actually, the flight to Italy in September through US Airways is only $661 per person, which I actually think I could save. Exciting!



pay off at least one credit card bill in full in 2009.
Whoo Hoo! 5 months ago

I paid off our Home Depot Credit Card, which completes our renovation on our bathroom. We used the Total Money Makeover snowball plan to make this happen! Happy to help anyone else who needs it!



take a hot air balloon ride
Hot Air Ballooning in Virginia! 10 months ago

I’m feeling a little bit better than I did this AM, so I’m thinking that this is a good time to do a little research for my first goal. I found a hot air balloon ride in richmond:

$329 for my husband and me. I’m not crazy about the site, which is a dumb reason not to be interested, so I kept looking and found this site:

$350 for my husband and me. This site is WORSE than the first one. lol. That’s my bit of research. Now I know how much I need to save for the trip and I have something to look forward to. I hope to accomplish this goal by the end of February or early March when the weather is nicer.
