Now that I don’t make as much money as I did when I worked full time, I have learned how to be really tight with my money. One thing that really helps is shopping online. One of my favorite places to shop online is Cymax. I was surprised to find Cymax discount coupons online and saved even more money. Have you ever checked them out?
Believe it or not but I also found Sun & Ski Sports discounts coupons too. Saved me a bundle so I can afford to pay for my gas to go skiing this winter. Cool huh? If you look, you might find discount coupons for what you want too.
I will give it to my father. He couldn’t have planned a better vacation even if Mom and I would have helped him. I would love to go back in the fall or early winter. It was so very beautiful but Alaska would be awesome in the winter so you can see the winter light displays in the sky. You know, the Northern Lights.
Isn’t this absolutely beautiful? The wonders of nature at their best.
Yeah this looks cold but beautiful at the same time!!!
Dad is being secretive about the cruise so all I know is that we leave on Wednesday and will be gone for 2 weeks at least. He’s always been secretive about surprise vacations and they usually turn out great but I remember one year when it turned out to be a total disaster. He set up a vacation in Florida and of all the things, a hurricane decided to make shore two days into the vacation.
Can you say “Time to get the heck out of Dodge”? Well that’s exactly what we had to do because they were under a mandatory evacuation. The Keys is not the place to be when a big bag of wind wants to vacation there too.
Well as usual my father has set up a vacation for us. The cool part is he’s taking all of us on an Alaska cruise. That’s totally awesome. It’s too hot for a Caribbean cruise and that’s usually what he does with us in the fall or winter so the Alaskan cruise is perfect. I’m not sure of all of the details yet but one thing I love about it is the fact that it’s not going to be super hot. He went online to some discount cruise site and got a really great price for us. Thank God he got a separate cabin for me instead of having to share a cabin with my parents.
A good friend of mine has invited me to go hiking at a local park this weekend. It’s a great place because of the nice hiking trails they have and also all of the other things they offer there like boat ramps and the fishing is pretty good in the lake too. There are picnic areas in the woods beside the water where you can take your family for picnics and also a beach type area for the kids to go swimming too.
Oh man I just realized I need some new hiking boots. Guess I better get in gear and find some.
