I'm so frustrated and torn and I don't know what to do! One of my good friends lives in London and we've been wanting to go to London forever to visit. We figured we'd finally go this summer and I've been pricing out flights and everything is so expensive! Finally I found a week where the flights were like $250 cheaper per person and I emailed her to see if those dates would work and they don't! This trip is going to cost over $4000 for London and Paris for a week and I'm starting to wonder if it's worth it! I know it's an amazing trip but I just don't know if I can justify spending that much! The flights alone are almost $2500! I want to see my friend and I want to see London and Paris but part of me is really confused! We spent over $5000 to go on our honeymoon and sit around in the rain all week. I don't want to waste more money on vacations!
Plus we're hoping to buy FIL's house soon and we're going to need to redo two bathrooms and the kitchen. I don't know if a vacation is a good idea with all of these expenses we're about to have.
What should I do? S u c k it up and go on vacation and spend a lot of money that I shouldn't or be rational and tell my friend we can't afford it, given all of our other expenses right now.

It's hard for me to go away during the school year because I'm a teacher...can't just book a one year trip but I did look into trips during the Christmas break and we would basically fly there and stay in the hotel for the same price as we'd just be flying there in the summer. So it looks like we'll be ringing in the new year in Paris and we'll be taking a cheaper beach vacation this summer!
Hey thats sounds great to me! Happy New Year PARI Style! ENJOY
