Pretty crazy list, huh? They won't all be happening unless we win the lottery or something equally crazy. I do know that #1 is happening for sure.
#2 will happen unless Makenzie's dance competition gets cancelled.
I'm planning on #3 and it seems feasible because Chris won't have to actually take any time off of work. We will need money for gas to get down there but once we are there it will be just groceries, which I would buy here anyway. Our entertainment would be playing on the beach which would be free and we would have a place to stay.
Ah, #4, that is supposed to be our "family vacation" this year. We have a free place to stay (definite plus) but other than that we need some money to make that one happen. We will see what the next couple of months bring. We are hoping to make this one happen since it may be our last summer to do a family vacation before Makenzie goes off to college and she will have completed her third year of Spanish at the end of the school year.
#5 is supposed to be a trip for Chris and I to a reunion in Germany and then a trip to Ukraine to see family. The likelihood of Chris going is about 'nil. He has High Adventure this summer and will need vacation days for that plus our trip to Mexico and that will take just about all of his vacation time. So I will possibly go to Germany alone and then on to Ukraine or I won't go at all.
#6 is due to my thoughts of moving our family vacation time during the girl's winter break at Christmas.
Chris gets 4 days off between Christmas and New Years holidays and it would be a more efficient use of his time off. The problem with going on a vacation then is that we will (hopefully) already have gone on one during the summer and thus, will have no money for a vacation. But, since this list is all about my dreams and wishes and possibilities, it's on there.
Do you want to go anywhere this year? Tell me where.

We were hoping to go to California, but due to circumstances we don't feel comfortable leaving the state this year...but in 2013 we're planning on a long trip to the east coast and it's going to be so much fun!!!
The kids are dying for a trip to Disneyland. I'd like to go to a warm, swimmable beach. I'd also like to spend some time at Lilly Lake in Utah (my favorite place on earth) and I think a trip to NYC in winter like you did last year (the year before?) would be amazing.
I'm saving my money to help all my friends who come here for the reunion, so that I can say at least the foods on me, and gas too possibly. On the 8 hour drive to Austria last week I worked out an itinerary for our reunion and was so excited to sit down and research more of the details, but the week in Austria concluded without internet access - oh my gosh! I was frustrated, I had so many things that I was going to do while I couldn't ski. Now we are back home and I have laundry first, but I hope to sit down and write that email soon anyway. I can't put it off much longer! It's THIS year.
