We finally sat down and planned out our days in Bermuda. We are going to do a lot on our own instead of doing shore excursions through the ship which will save us $50 so my new goal is $1200. I also got $10 in the mail from a product survey I did for Johnson and Johnson so $1010 dollars in the cruise fund with $190 to go!

I got a $30 gift card from rite aid in the mail yesterday. I decided to add $30 to my fund since I will use this giftcard over the next few months instead of paying cash. $1040 in the fund with $160 to go!

I can't believe my cruise is only 4 days away!! Today I went to the bank and exchanged the spare change we have been saving and it was $65. I also decided to eat from the refrigerator and freezer this week so I went to the grocery store and only spent $10 on some basics. We normally spend $50 per week on groceries so I added $90 to my fund ($40 leftover from this week and $50 from next week that we won't spend since we will be on vacation). I added $5 from my wallet once I realized I was only $5 away from my goal! I am so excited to have met my goal and I can't wait for my vacation! I'm off to pack and run last minute errands. Good luck to everyone on meeting their goals!

I'm not sure. I called the cruise line and they said the itinerary hasn't changed but I have a hard time believing that since we leave New York on Sunday. Oh well. As long as we are going somewhere and someone else is responsible for all the cooking and cleaning I will have a great time! On a more positive note, I got a rebate check from Enfamil for $26 in the mail today so I am going to add it to the fund and spend it on something for myself!

We just got home from our cruise yesterday and we had a wonderful time! We didn't make it to Bermuda but we made the best out of it and had fun in the Bahama's instead. We actually spent less than I budgeted so I have an early start on our vacation fund for next year!
