I grew up by the ocean. Lived in MB for 9 years, adored every moment of living in vacation land. Took my son to Disney World every other year. Worked in Knotts Berry Farm and Disney Land and lived in Orange County.

Growing up in the military gave me the traveling bug.... but because we were military, I learned how to go where I wanted, and how to do so cheaply.

Did you know Disney World has a military only hotel on property. Its called "The Shades of Green".

A wonderful place to stay... and cheaper than the resort hotels. I encourage anyone who wants a nice vacation and are military, active, reserve, National Guard, retired... even unremarried widows and their children are eligible.

Is it cheap? Nope, but its cheaper.

Many other resorts and vacation spots are offering gas cards, some as high as 40 dollars... enough for a tank. Its not much of an offering, but if someone shops smartly, they can get good deals.

You seem to believe I am jealous of the "jet setters" the "rich" and the "entitled".

Im far from resentful towards anyone who has such possessions, Sanity. They earned their money, they spent it as they wished. What I do resnt is the bitching that comes from that group because they cannot afford the decisions they made in the past.

Dont judge me because I sin differently than you.
If you want it sugar coated, dont ask me what i think! It would violate TOS.

If you were in charge of things only rich peoples kids would get to explore a rain forest, or frolic on an ocean beach, get to hike along a breathtaking mountain ridge?

That would be sad...

And you need to check your facts because gas is up a lot more than "just" a dollar. In fact everything is more on account of fuel prices, and despite what you seem to think people are being adversely affected, the whole economy is.

Lets just hope things dont get too much worse, and vote out the enviro whackos.



Actually, sanity, gas prices are up ALMOST a dollar from a year ago. You might want to fact check before making claims (of course, I don't expect you to actually do it based on past history).

To counter your claim. if you were in charge, there wouldn't be any rain forests, the ocean beaches would be covered in tar balls and the mountain ridges would have been removed to get at the coal underneath.

Running AC/ lights- when it is not needed.    Happily my electric bill dropped this month. Yay.

I locked in my power rate for 2 years.    As I expect the price to go up.

If I could scrape the down payment together, there would be about 4000 SF of solar cells on the roof of My office building. the break even point is 7 years as of now which is a good payback.
