To be responsible or not....that is the dilemma.
My wife and I are building a house - a good start, and came to the realization that a trip to Vegas would pretty much be out of the question this year.
We now have a buyer for our current home and should be moving into the new house the 1st week of August - all's good, right?!?!?
Well, a few days ago I notice on the LVA home page the 40% off deals on Caesars properties....hmmm, interesting I say to myself and a few clicks of the mouse and find we can stay at Paris on the night of our anniversary and the 3 nights after that (which includes a weekend stay) for $383 tax & title. I email this to my wife who buckles and says BOOK IT! We've never stayed at Paris before and 40% off is pretty darn good in our book.
So I check the fine print for cancellation policies and find the typical 72 hours thing. A few more clicks of the mouse and low & behold we have our reservation.
Most of the new home furniture has been bought however we still have to buy sunroom, office and breakfast nook furniture. Not to mention the multiple loads of top soil so we can have a nice lawn in a short time. Of course with building a new home little and big things pop up and we've had to spend a little (OK a lot) more than we anticipated.
Next is looking for cheap flights unfortunately (or fortunately) no cheap airfare from Ohio to Vegas - of course still looking, any thoughts?!?!?!?
It sure feels like a guilty pleasure just having the reservation since we both no it may not be the adult, responsible thing to do.
So what would you do?!?!? Put the money that would be spent on the trip into the house or play Farragut and go on the trip?!?!?!?
A sweet dilemma it is since it really seems to be a win-win either way.
