How I did it: This is not a really how I did it as much as a retorspective on lessons learned on how to do it in the future. Bascially, save consistently over the time period you have, don't wait until the last minute. A stitch in time saves nine. Read how I did it…
How I did it: It really didn't have to take me 4 months to do this...I actually put the plan together in probably less than an hour, but I procrastination makes things take longer :)I got the inspiration to sit down and work it out so I went with it. Opened up a word document and starting clarifying what I was trying to do this year. I stayed at it until I finished. Read how I did it…

Went on the cruise and it was absolutely fantasic. tried foods and activities I’ve never tried and enjoyed the company of new people. While I can’t say that I did this without incurring anymore debt, i did better than I thought and it was definitely worth it. I’ve learned a few a things about planning for a vacation, so next time I’ll be better prepared and will definitely not incurr debt.
“Life is not lost by dying; life is lost minute by minute, day by dragging day, in all the thousand small uncaring ways.”~Stephen Vincent Benét
