Will you be traveling this summer?

I really wanted to try and take a vacation this year, but gas prices are having a great influence on that. It seems like a crazy waste of money. I will probably go to Indiana..but that is just because my b/f's family lives there and we haven't visited in almost a year. They are very close. If gas goes up much more, I might not even be doing that.

We will be planning our usual trip up to Arkansas. The gas is going to be expensive but my boyfriends mother is sick so we have to find a way to get there. Usually we do go for a month, and since we are planning on moving there eventually we have to go this summer to sort things out.

As much as my husband and I would love to, I strongly doubt that we will travel, or go anywhere. We just really don't have the money to do it with. We would love to be able to travel and go somewhere, but reality is that we just don't have the means to do it with, at this point in time.

I won't be traveling this summer. I still have a lot of things I need to finish and I really can't go traveling around even if I want to. That's just too bad for me. Anyways, summer isn't the only time for travelling. I can travel when I'm free. But not on summer days. Hahaha! I just hope that day will come sooner and not later. :P

same here in the philippines, the price of gas is so high. maybe if we will have a vacation, it will be within our province just to enjoy the summer. we cant afford to travel far.

no I'm not. I don't have enough savings to spend on a vacation. sad

We have a trip scheduled but I highly doubt that we will be going anywhere this year. Gas is too expensive and we just do not have the time to take off from work and cover the loss of pay.

So if you get an outside paying job (you have 3 jobs, they just don't pay right now, wife, Mother, and home school teacher), is he gooing to home school her? Will she have to go to regular school? What's he going to do while you're working? I think you should tell him that he should get a job. I don't think I'll be taking a vacation this year, but one never knows.

my birthday is comin up and my sister asked me to come and visit her. her house is just right in front of the beach so i guess i'll be hitting the beach again. it's a 5hour travel more or less. pretty far but it's my birthday, i wanna be alone and think about things that happened to me on my 26th year. quite a ride.. i was at the beach though last Easter Sunday and it was nice.

My parents are going to spend their vacation in the north of Denmark and they have invited us to join them. I have to work most of the summer, but we plan on visiting my parents for two days. The rest of the summer I am going to work 7 days a week, it will be quite hard, so I know that I am really going to enjoy our mini vacation with my parents. I have been to the north of the Denmark several times as a tourist and in the past I lived there for some years, so I plan on showing my husband some of the places that I like in that area.

We will be travelling this summer but it won't be nearly as much as a typical summer. Gas prices are just outrageous and really hard to keep up with. We're taking our annual beach vacation to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Other than that though I'd imagine we'll only travel back "home" to visit our families once or twice. We typically would do this at least 3-4 times during the summer - for family reunions, picnics, etc. It's really unfortunate that those darn gas prices are ruining summer plans!

I wish my husband and I could take a vacation, but with our tax return check we decided to do some major remodeling instead. Our back deck needs major repair and we have decided to paint the bathrooms and then the kitchen. I am making extra money on here and also at a couple of other web sites so I can afford the paint. I know gas prices are getting to be rediculous and I wish prices would come down soon. I am sorry that your husband will not work and that he expects you to get a job. As a teacher who cannot find work and finds that the education system in the US is not great I can understand why you home school your daughter. She is getting a great education from you because you are able to work one on one with her.

We will not be travelling either. The cost is too high, and my wife can take paid leave, but I can't. So, we won't be taking off any time or travelling very far. On the other subject, I would suggest to you that you tell your husband that working is not one-sided. While he does odd jobs, you home school a child, and teaching a little one is difficult... I give you massive kudos because I can barely have enough patience to help my daughter with her 1st grade homework, let alone teach her the subject matter.

I will travel this summer beacause this is the final vacation of my college life.But it still has some obstacles.Definitely,money is a problem,so we have to choose some nearby place.But if I could not travel,spending whole vacation at home with my family and my boyfriend is also a good choice.

I doubt it. I was planning to go with our sons to Vancouver, but they have other plans and do not have a car. I would have to take lessons that are expensive and then also buy a car. Cannot do both. The only way would be to take a plane and then that is expensive or take a tour bus. The only trips would be if I went with my friends to the nearest town and that would just be for the day or go to the nearest parks. So unless I have a rich uncle, I will ;have no vacation for this year or for some to come.

I love to travel overseas most of all. I took my disabled son and baby daughter to Colombia in January until February this year. Airfares are high so I tend to go when they are the lowest and there is still good weather. Where I went they have hot weather all year round. In my home country petrol costs are ever so high. I don't like to drive long distances and go around in my car within my county. If it is a longer journey then I go my train. I have got a Friends and Family railcard. I have booked a train ticket up to Yorkshire for a week in June. We have booked a cheap guest house. I would like to show my disabled son The Deep, a steam railway and an rainway museum. I would love to go to Robin Hood Bay. We will also be able to see Scarborough and Whitby. It is lovely that you home school your daughter. If you would like a cheap trip somewhere perhaps you could go camping by the sea or in the countryside. If you book train fare on-line you can find and get the lowest fares.

We are already done with our summer trip this summer. We have been planning this since last year when we got seat sale fares offered last quarter of last year. My family makes it a point to go on a local vacation once a year. It is our way of rewarding ourselves for working so hard for the year. It is our breather from the stress that we have to deal at work and it inspires us to work harder the next year. We usually bring our toddler son along. I feel that traveling is a good experience to learn about new places and cultures. I usually do my research online and visit some travel forums to get feedbacks on cheap accommodations and the must-see-places so I can plan our itinerary and save on fares. This way we are able to save up for our trip. One can really travel and but still don’t end up being broke.

I don't think so.I have an entrance exam at the end of this month.I have to prepare for it.May be,i can go out some time later,i mean after the completion of my exam.Cheers,..

i wish i could, besides that i am saving some my money for something, i have a very major exam soon. i will be taking my board exam for nurses soon so without money or with a lot money i am still not going to be able to go on vacation this summer yeah the gas is like one of the problems of everybody in this world

Lol. You husband sounds cool. Life is too short to stress, but hey we need people like you to keep people like him in check with reality. No traveling for me this summer, but not because of the gas. My buddies and I can always carpool, so together $4.29 is not much for us. But Wow $4.29? That is a lot of cash for just one person to take a cross country trip.
