I signed up for my trip to Costa Rica at the end of January! I was stalling, but then my son sent me a promo code for 200$ off so that sent me over the edge into commitment. Also I got a good deal on the flight over. All in all, it cost me a bit less than 2400$ for just over 2 weeks. The countdown begins!

It's still only October. I'm assuming you have a couple of trips to sunny places already arranged before the end of Jan.
Or have I got the wrong impression ...

Ah...The good farther. We can always depend upon you to schedule a midwinter escape from the clutches of the Canadian Shield.
Swimmer is a big fan of Costa Rica and has been twice, doing an 'exchange' each time, working part time and touring part time. She loved it and natters on endlessly about returning. I tend to beg off her invitations to join her in another return because I consider it to be too damned close to the equator. It's jungle, for crepes sake. I've heard the climate at the coast described as stultifyingly humid and cloyingly sweaty (by her), but she assures me that the middle elevations where she spent most of her time were like nice summer days here...year 'round. I remain unconvinced. Go...Have fun. Get hot and sweaty in January. See if I care.
Meanwhile...We got a new set of offers from one of our small boat tours outfit on both the Rhone (eastern France) and the Adriatic (Slovenia, Croatia and Montenegro), slashing the prices yet again. The thing is, we would need to commit by Halloween, and I don't see my traveling companion as being willing, nor particularly able, to make that commitment now. She is just breaking free of the itty bitty kitty committee responsibility she took on recently, and she now has ten hens that are laying (but will slack to complete cessation soon).
Still blowing with the wind, here...

I suspect that you have the right impression, but our good farther is of the church mouse persuasion, pocketbook-wise. She would if she could, but she can't so she gets whats she can. You know that old aphorism...You can't always get what you want? But if you try some time, you just might find, you get what you need.

Thank you, Goat dear --you're right! I'd travel more if I could afford the money (and the time off).

A lovely, warm place to visit! And get out of those winter blues.
Just watch out for snakes.
