Going on a vacation?

Need a break from your routine?

Wanna go for a mini-vacation?

Sure, plan a destination and book your nights. But, gotta read the fine print before you click on "Purchase"

These days hotels charge fees for every darn thing excluding oxygen.

You wanna check in early---fees
You wanna park your car---fees
You want Wi-Fi---fees
You grab something from the refrigerator in your room---fees + fees to go and get that thing in particular and put it back in the fridge.
You want an extra pillow/sheet/towel/roll-away-bed---fees
You get delayed in your check out----fees
You need a refrigerator/microwave in your room--fees


Gotta stash your pocket with loads of $$$ to go and get rejuvenated for a few nights.

My 2 cents
Oh! Man please don't become a money making machine. Let the sentiments flow and help thy man to enjoy your creation without feeling suffocated.

Mantra for today:  Money cannot buy happiness. Being content with what we have, is the key to bliss.

Yes, money cannot buy happiness. We should learn to focus on what we DO have! It's the key to bliss!

Wow, so true and can tell you this. The only time I didn't have to worry about being charged more for things was on our honeymoon when we did the all inclusive package, but that cost us an arm and a leg still. So, in the end, you pay one way or another. So couldn't agree more on this. By the way, voted as always!! :)

So agree with you Ruchira! Aaaah, what I wouldn't give for a night or two in a hotel with my man. Only time we did that was on honeymoon. But sheesh, they are expensive. Rather just go to a romantic B&B or have a mini holiday at home! :)

I agree Michelle. thanks!

Yup Janine & Melanie...it would be just fine to order food in and enjoy the many bounties of home sweet home where a family could enjoy unlimited without shelling out $$ at each step.

Unfortunately, these days to go for a mini-vacation is becoming a huge expenditure
