Help for the planning – challenged.

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

I’ve been learning that sometimes a bit of planning goes a long way.

This summer (mid September), Mieke, Alex, Jon and I plan to head to Colorado to visit my sisters (Heidi and Lori) and our parents, who will be back from Ecuador.  It’s been a few years since we’ve seen them.  It’ll be great to see them all in one place again…if only for a week.

I was adding up the various costs (gas, food, camping fees, etc) and I think we can make the 3000 mile round trip for about $500.

I stumbled across a great new online bank that promises to make saving for this trip fun and rewarding. And it has a great name to boot.  Click the image below to check it out.
