greek .. it was a rhetorical question. smile i wasn't going to let this stop me from travelling.

you suck it up and find a way.

with me, my friends are either all married .. yes, i have no divorced friends. no widows, and no single girl friends. everyone has kids or grandkids. i'm the only one without kids or a h. most cannot afford the time due to family obligations. i don't expect them to take a week off for me.

or, they are all recent college grads. there's a 12 year age gap between me and them, not to mention the amount of disposable income.

i've done my homework. i've checked out all of those sites, called several agencies, and there's nothing they can do. i need to scale down my idea of a vacation. the vacations i want to take are a bit more costly than i expected.

my best option is to create my own vacation. so we'll see.
