We’re Going On A Short Vacation

We’re going on a short summer vacation. Emphasis on the ‘short’. We’re going to leave on a Sunday noon, and will be back on Tuesday 8ish. Have to work Wednesday at 3AM. We’re going to rent a van because I can’t quite trust the battery gauge in my Astro. It dips low, then lower and then up again and nobody can figure it out. It doesn’t really die, but I don’t want to chance it.

So, this vacation is costing us money-wise:

$ 205.07  - van rental at Budget

$380.00 – two nights at a cabin in the woods

$ 130.00 – gas for a 750 miles round trip

This does not include food and stuff and fun things. That will be determined later. Oh, and we’ve got to carry our own sheets!

Cost For LA Trip, So Far

I’ve finally booked my ticket to LA. I and my son are travelling for some Mommy and son trip. I got the tickets free from all that credit card spending. But, I have to pay taxes. $60 for both of us. Then I rented a car at Alamo, mid-size Cobalt for 581.13…that is with a 10% discount already.

In summary:
$60 – travel taxes and fees
$581.13 – rental car

I haven’t got hotel and food and stuff yet.
