Hubby and I were discussing last night if we are pushing through for the plan to go to the US this year. With his new job, new responsibility, he still cannot give me a definite answer. Of course, I would still love to go since I have turned down a lot of opportunities as well for December, considering it’s the peak months for weddings. Although I am still hopeful that we can go and we would know by October as what he promised me, I already checked out the airline rates and I was suprised for the amount we have to prepare in case we are pushing through. Now, I can see his point that we can just push through in construction of the dream house within the year and would just reschedule the US trip either next year. The cost of the trip for the whole family could probably be the amount we need already to buy most of our new furnitures for the new house. We plan to leave mid-December and I’m suprised that airline rate is almost at $1.5K per person inclusive of taxes. Kids rates are not lower than $1.2K. And of course, I wouldn’t settle without a shopping money. If we decide to go next year instead, we would time it to a US conference in New York City Dicky has to attend. Hmm, makes me think that it could be a better idea since I also want to go to New York. I want to stay longer for a vacation so would like to go to east cost and west coast. I know we can just use NYC Bus Charters in touring New York so it would be easy for us especially if we are bringing the kids. Since these charters are very clean, and well maintained. They also provide safe, courteous and experienced drivers in such a luxury charter coach. They also have been known to be always on time. We can just hop the bus if we want to go to tourist areas in New York as well as amusement parks which would definitely be the kids favorite.

Well as of today, we are at status quo for the decision to go to the US for the holidays. I hope we can arrive at the final decision in time.
