There’s no better way to save money on vacation than to visit your in-laws, who happen to live in sunny (I just jinxed myself) Florida. I’ve never been so excited to visit the state of bad drivers and outrageous buffets as I am after two days of negative temperatures and record snowfall. Whoever says there’s global warming hasn’t visited Chicago recently.
We’ll eat for free at the “club” and since there’s nowhere to walk to and virtually no car for me to borrow down there, we can all rest easy that a desperation trip to the mall (because I’m prone to going stir crazy amidst bad driver and buffet eating) will not happen. Unless someone else is paying. Which they won’t be because, well, they’ve all invested in the market as well.
So here’s to my trip to warm (doh!) weather, gorging myself on free buffets, and no jacket, mitten, hat or boot wearing for a whole week.
Enjoy your holidays.
