Theme: Hawaii is one of my favorite places on Earth! Since none of my immediate family members have been to Hawaii, I would love to surprise them with a fabulous vacation to experience all the beauty that I have been lucky enough to see! Family members going on a summer long vacation: 6-1-12 through 8-31-12 Michelle (me) Matt (my husband) David (brother) Cassandra (sister) Brianna (sister) My Momma Goal: I need to make sure I spend as close to 1 million dollars as possible without going over. I can be within $100 to reach this goal. I am able to donate a total of $50,000 to charities. Research: I will use the internet to help me find actual prices: priceline.com & homeaway.com will be useful in determining flights, car rentals, condo prices, and activity prices.
