99% Complete

We I am almost complete with booking our July vacation and I am so excited!!!  We are heading down to Florida July 16-23rd.  We will be staying 3 nights in Orlando at the BEAUTIFUL Marriott Vacation Club Grande Vista for $89/night (thanks to a good friend who has Marriott hook ups!).  We will be doing Universal Studios and/or Sea World then heading to Ormond Beach (close to Daytona area) for 4 nights to stay with my Grandma and hit the beach and relax.  The trip also falls on my 31st so Happy Birthday to me!!

I love being thrifty:)  We had two free round trip airfares from Southwest and got the Friends & Family rate at the hotel.  Grams house is free and we just have to rent a car to get there! Oh, and best thing, my mom is watching Maggie so we don't have to get a dog sitter.  Last thing to do is decide what we are going to do in Orlando. 

Total savings so far:
$300 for dogsitter
$900 for airfare
$125 for hotel

I am also watching Groupon's daily for Orlando and Daytona area. If you have not tried Groupon, I HIGHLY encourage you to check it out here Groupon. 
Here is a pic of the hotel and pool.  Now, if the next three months would pass soon!

    We stayed there when I was in collage (and working at the pyramid!). It was AMAZING! We got a two bedroom suite, with my parents in one side, and Ben and I slept in the huge bed on the other (with a line of pillows down the center! Neither one of us cared as long as it meant that we didn't have to sleep on the pull out couch!) Wanna plan MY vacation to Florida?
