I am taking steps on spending less - starting small, cutting down on coffee and lunches. There's an old saying-watch your pennies and your pounds will watch themselves! Also keeping up with various travel newsletters and special offers so I can catch some good deals.

Loads o' recipes to be done and at a great price! :) I looked at my 2nd Quarter IRA stuff the other day...yeah, it had taken a bit of a dive, but all in all - like I had mentioned, I am not retiring tomorrow, so I'm trying hard to not fret - Keep smiling, that ALWAYS HELPS! Oh, that and a piece of caramel always helps me. I am DEFINITELY going to check out your Women Traveling Through India - this is a dream of mine...and I have a girlfriend in LA that is looking to do it in beginning of 2009! I will also steer her your way. As a travelling junkie, I am excited to know more about your book! My best friend and i went to Indonesia in 2000/2001 and boy what a relief it was to come back home WITH MONEY - after so many years doing the European thing and not having an extra dough at all! Awesome BLOG POST!!! I love the fact that you are cooking at home!!! Loads o’ recipes to be done and at a great price! :)

Skip Europe, head to where your money is still worth a lot. Flights to Mexico and Central America aren't much more than a coast-to-coast flight in the U.S., especially this time of year. Once you get there--if you avoid the Americanized resort areas---you can get as much or more for your money as you could three or four years ago.

The market has taken a huge hit in "the last few days." It would be unwise to carry on under the financial assumptions of last year. That said, one can choose how to feel about things. No need to slip into depression just because it seems like the thing to do. Keep traveling and you just might find yourself happier and no less broke than you were before.
