One of the benefits of getting out of debt and working 90-hour weeks (perhaps I exaggerate but only a little) is having the means to actually take a vacation. And we did -- two glorious weeks in Europe.

What an amazing experience. And by “amazing” I refer to the $9.50 dental floss. I’m not kidding. Somehow in my haste to make our flight, I forgot to pack mine. No problem, I thought. I‘ll just pick it up when we get there. And that’s exactly what I did, but not quite as easily as I’d hoped.
