Budget and plan.

As far as money, I only go to 3 Carnivals a year--Trinidad, DC & Miami

After Trinidad, I am already booking hotel and such for Miami and Dc...that way it don't hit you all at once. A lil here and a lil there. After Miami, I start saving for Trinidad.

As far as school, DC is cool cause it is summer time and Miami is just a week/weekend vibe (this year looking at Thur. to Mon )

I got 27 days holiday this yr, plus I am on flexi, so you know I can get the time off.

Right now I wukin like a donkey, and I got 16.22 on the clock. This is the equivalent of 2 days (7h 12mins per day), I looking for a full three days, though its not hard to do coz there is so much work.

Plan and save...

I don't really get much vacation time, but I did reach TnT and will be in Barbados for CropOver. Also will do a weekend trip to take in Miami (that's the plan for now) and I live in NYC so de Parkway and activities will be seeing me. Lawd, I working like a dawg, though 'cause I'm originally from IL so I had to also figure in Christmas (before I get disowned )...

i start every year $300 a month that is $3600. in 12 mts that is a good start for tnt carnival since it is $21,600 tt dollars.. it is a lot easier to use that than to wait till last min to try to get it.. so thats how i do it.. as for the others i cant afford all so i go to the best one tnt. i start saving already at the end of march i have $900..
