We started this site ten months ago with the dual purpose of keeping ourselves motivated (i.e. keeping our budgets on track) and continuing to build excitement for the eventual trip.
For months things progressed as planned but as we went from 70-weeks-out time frame (where everything was hypothetical) to crossing the one-year barrier, to the point at which booking reservations and flights came on to the immediate timeframe, it became apparent that with an honest look at where we all stood, 2012 wouldn't be as practical as hoped.
In the end, it was with heavy hearts, and a promise all around that we would not er again, that we decided collectively that the pilgrimage would have to wait one more year.
I feel disproportionately responsible. Making the decision to take a job transfer to Seattle put me in a particularly poor position to take an expensive international trip, but I am confident that we will make this trip happen in the spring of 2013.

No need to feel bad or claim responsibility. This trip will be costly and therefore a financial burden, especially for those who are still embarking on a career, not approaching the end of one. We just need to keep putting those singles and coins in the Scotland jar under the bed, and believe me, as we walk off the eighteenth green on the Old Course it will all be worth it.
ReplyDeleteOh, I forgot, who is that good looking fellow on the right???
ReplyDeleteI'll try not to claim too much of the responsibility, and who knows... maybe we can reverse this decision if things change in the next couple of months.
ReplyDeleteAnd as far as the picture, the only "handsome dog" is the one with four legs!
Ha!
