No holiday abroad this year, but....

We have not been in a position to have a holiday abroad since we began to rely on just one income in our household. In the last four years or so, we have fought hard not just to keep our heads above water, but also to pay off existing credit card balances and be debt-free. This has led to a lot of changes when it comes to how we spend the small amount of money that we have.
I expect that we will have paid off any remaining credit card balance within the next three months (and that without even having a pay-rise in the last three years), but I don't imagine that we will be celebrating with a vacation in Orlando just yet! In fact this Summer we will have a free holiday with my parents in the UK.
Our daughter would love to visit Disney World, so maybe one day we will be boarding a flight to Orlando, but we currently have our feet firmly on the ground, sitting out the financial crisis. In our old life' we had regular foreign holidays and look forward to the time when we will be able to do so again.
