    I would go on a warm sunny trip, where the shopping is good, and get your jeans there. I like to spend less on the trip itself (last minute deals) and have more to spend on shopping and outings. Have fun with your money!!

    I recently stay at a 5 star hotel when I treated my mum to a retirement trip and oh man it was awesome. A total luxury and we were treated like royalty. I'm not normally down with that since I'm pretty down to earth and unassuming but it was a really nice treat.

    First I would splurge on a great big latte and chocolate bar, pick up a few things you really need ie. jeans etc, then book a trip, you can always pick up a cheap appliance later Have fun, enjoy the moola!

    What kind of extra $$$ are we talking about? Enough for a few trips here and there, or one trip? If its one trip, I'd go to either Rome, Greece, or Egypt. I would take the trip of a lifetime and see all these ancient ruins.

    If its more than one, I'd take a cruise on the Caribbean or the Mediterranean (or both), a trip to Vegas and maybe one or more of my "trips of a lifetime". And if I had any extra, I would go on a much needed shopping spree before the trips to have the clothes, shoes and all the extras I'd need.

    With wanting to save some... enough for a trip and a decent shopping spree!

    I've been to Vegas 3 times already--ppl that know me are surprised by that, haha. Not sure I'd go again unless something big was there/happeneing I wanted to see. Done the Caribbean cruise... but which sea is the Med? lol I USED to be good at geography... lost my touch, I spose! The GBS/BNL cruise in January takes off from FL and does that ocean area over there, hmm.

    Europe sounds lovely... and I REALLY want to hit the Philipines. I work with a ton of Philipinos... they just so awesome--I wanna go!!

    Hmmmmmm...this is hard, you could be practical and buy furniture - couch, chairs, bedroom set or appliances - but BAH that seems....Boring

    I'm thinking a vacation....but then I think, ohhhh wouldn't it be fun to take DD somewhere, like Disneyland I know she's a hair young, but if you planned for next year ??? Just an idea. Oh! What about a trip for you to Vancouver/Victoria

    If a cruise is on the agenda then why not a Disney Cruise, you have a little girl & it is all about the Princesses with Disney. It is also very 5 starish with a great kids club & lots of adult only areas as well.
    Friends don't let real friends pay full price.

    I agree on doing something that will leave you with memories - what do you really love - music? art? people? partying? sports? crafts? movies? - why not plan a vacation around something that you love? That GreatBigSea/Someoneelse cruise sounded very interesting to me.... How about Nashville or the grand canyon? You are such a careful spender - you sure deserve a splurge!

    Love it!

    Actually, my friend just got married in Nashville. I decided to NOT go to the wedding cuz of a few reasons-the biggest being money!!!!!!!!! But I told her if things work out how I want them too (getting money back after all I put "in")... then I woul love to hit up Nashville for a visit in 2011!!!!!!! Now I am wondering if I can plan to see BSB/NKOTB (hehehehe) at the same time... if they have any dates in the a... lol!!!

    Along with the vacation ( definitely to somewhere warm!) I would grab a friend or 2 and go to a fancy spa. Massage, facial, mani/pedi... the works! Go somewhere really posh that you would never go to normally. I would also buy myself some really good make-up, body lotion, etc.
