Thank you so much! It really was a great trip and so not ready to be back at work.
I did leave out something that I think is of interest. A couple of years ago, we tried the DVandentop TITO method and ended the trip even. It would have been a win for the trip, but our flight was cancelled and we had to stay an extra day. We used it last year as well and was close to even, but the flight got cancelled and we had to stay another night, so we netted a loss of only $2,000. This year, we tried again and you already know the results. We keep all TITOs over $400 and that money goes home with us. It's worked really well in helping manage our money and not just gamble away winnings. We haven't figured out the daily budget part, though ... like how much are we allowing for gambling daily, but we've been pleased with the overall results so far.
