Countdown to Geek Week
I’ve mentioned it before, but my uber geek husband as well as my little geek in training are embarking on what I have termed “Geek week”. This involves our family attending two Comic book/Anime conventions on different coasts. I’ve been meticulous about wanting to save a reCOCulous amount of money to dump at these cons while limiting the expenses I’ll spend on accomodations . Here is my secret:
1. I secured the hotel. The swanky one. Thanks, Marriott miles.
2. I think I might have enough flight miles to fly our entire family for free
3. a frugailty plan that will allow us to save almost $1500 monthly. No, I’m not dieting on ramen noodles and rice cakes with peanut butter. Since we have no debt, living frugal is easy. if you want to know my secret…well…It’s called living below our means.
I’ve decided to put a counter down below. We’re excited about this vacation. I am, because it will be the first time that I will ever see California. Anyhow, I hope that this is as cool as we’re hypin’ it up to be.
