Adventure Fund: Costa Rica 2014


I'm planning on going to Costa Rica this summer with a friend. Luckily, one of her good friends is a travel agent so she has really helped us with the planning. We're looking forward to staying at an all inclusive resort near the beach.

The trip should cost us somewhere around $2000. Since I'm a visual person, I made myself an "Adventure Fund" jar to keep in my room so that I can have something tangible to track my progress. I have enough in my savings to pay for the trip, but maybe I can stash away enough cash in my jar so that I don't have to tap in to my savings.



    


DIY Adventure Fund Jar:
  • Glass jar
  • Masking tape
  • Krylon chalkboard paint
  • Craft Smart chalk marker

Current Savings: $338.25
Target: $2000
Progress: 17%

I also made an Oregon 2014 Adventure Fund jar to give to JR for Valentine's Day. Since it was a gift, I didn't really want it to smell like pickles so I bought a mason jar and a lid with a coin slot (purchased on etsy). To add to the gift, I purchased a gift cards to a beer tasting tour and to VooDoo Doughnut.

Vegas

Now is the time to travel! I'm going to Las Vegas next week because it's so cheap.

The flight each way was only $19 on Allegiant Air. With tax and other fees our round trip flight came out to about $75.

We found a deal online to stay at Excalibur for about $55 a night which is extremely reasonable when split between three people.

Our amazing deals for our flight and hotel leave us lots of extra spending money to enjoy the shops! I can't wait.
