[quote=Anonymous]Cancel.  The same thing happened to me right before spring break last year and it took me a year to find another job and we needed every last dime, so I'm glad we didn't spend the money.  I planned a great staycation instead, and we ended up really enjoying that and seeing things in the DC area that we probably otherwise would not have.

We took the big trip the following year on spring break and it was a joyful celebration because I had found a new job and we had a a great time with no stress.

I have to also say it was a great life lesson for my kids.  I was very honest about the fact that we were all going to have to sacrifice for a while and canceling the vacation was huge reality check for my kids.  I think my year of unemployment really made my kids appreciate things they had previously taken for granted.  I was so proud of them for not complaining once, but instead for their great attitude.  They really got into trying to find free things to do and ways to save money!  [/quote]
