The best laid plans of mice and men

This week we had a discussion with our soon-to-be-former tax accountant. It turns out our tax bill is significantly larger than we expected. I have spent a few days in shock and now I’m desperately trying to save our travel plans. We are determined still to go to Europe, the question at this point is do we forge ahead in August or do we cancel and start again next year? It’s a very tough call. If we do go ahead, then the game plan on the trip will have changed significantly. We will be looking for much cheaper accommodation, transport and sigh seeing activities. It’s not going to be he holiday we imagined at all.
I love this story – perhaps we should just sell everything and drive to Europe:
- Family of five drive 21000 miles to Australia (telegraph.co.uk)
- Budget Travel: European Spring Break (gadling.com)
- Making Taxes Less Taxing (smarterware.org)
Oh no! It’s been that kind of week, hasn’t it? (And it’s only Wednesday!) I’m sending positive thoughts.
Obi-Mom Kenobi’s last blog post..Impressive, most impresive, but you are not a Jedi yet.
I’m sorry your plans are changing! But remember if you do still go that while it may be different to what you had planned you will still have an absolutely wonderful time!
Thanks _ I’m petitioning to have all future Monday’s cancelled due to lack of interest myself
