Travel Bug, Bitten

That travel bug I mentioned as being a monetary suck? It struck.  Not un-planned, a trip for my birthday has been in the works but I just booked it. 5 days, 4 nights in Cancun at the beginning of December. 

The plus side? I'd set aside a growing fund for just that use so while it went on my credit card to pay for it, it will be paid off as soon as it hits while funds for spending grow via a "payroll deduction" (really a bi-weekly direct deposit to an alternate account). I think that was a good way of doing it, and I'm looking forward to the vacation.
