"Staycation"

Santa Maria Cathedral, Florence Italy
"The Duomo"

If people didn't have Credit Cards? 
Would they still go on vacation? 
What if we as a country
 or we as a people
 borrowed no money at all, ever, 
and lived within our means?

 Can we still go on "Vacation?" 
Yes we can,
 and without the worry of paying for it
 in the months to come.


 It is so easy, and fun.
 Here's the plan!!!

 Put your "Staycation" on the calendar;
 Now organize your "trip."
 Where would you love to go? Really!!! Where? 

I want to go back to "Florence" Italy.

 I "book" the trip with Randall.
 He makes sure our transportation is clean,
 safe and good to go.


 I make certain the "Bed & Breakfast" is JUST RIGHT.
 Fluffy down comforter, candles, spa bath, cozy,
 clean and private. Did you say what I thought you said?
"It's free?"
No way?


Way!


 (Hey, this bed is snuggly, comfy soft and very familiar).


"BAILEY"S"
Bed

&

Breakfast

Now off to the public library to "check out" movies filmed in Florence. Books about it's grand history and art.
 Music classics such as "Dean Martin,"
 and maps of course.
"It's free?"
No way!


WAY!

 Time to go to the grocery store and farmer's market.
 It is not free, but, cheaper than eating out, and it taste's better! I buy 3 to 5 days worth of ingredients for what one meal would cost if we dined at a fancy Italian Restaurant. 
Pasta, cheese, bread, olives, etc.

A private "Table" is set.

 Linens, china, crystal, candlelight,
 from our own "Hutch." 


 Fresh flowers from our garden.

The aroma of "Italy," fills the air,
 as the bread bakes.
All free,
 except the food, but you have to buy food anyway. 
Right?

 Almost done! 
Wheels ...check, "Bed & Breakfast"...check, Menu...check, Entertainment...check, Spa...check. Cuddle Music...check.

Saving lots of money...Priceless!


Don't Forget the Gelato!

And the Florentine Cookie's
