2011
No plans for vacation (I have to save days and we should save money for nicer vacation in 2012)
Maybe 1 day in Philadelphia or something minor like that (we have a couple of Marriott certificates that expire).

2012

Local skiing $750 (funded)
in a CD that matures during the ski season.

Yearly ski week trip $3,600 minimum estimated.
$0 funded
(we won't touch EF for this, and we have no childcare arrangemet yet either (we would only trust our moms to take care of our little one alone for the whole week).
So it may not happen.
I am reluctant to take it off the list though, so we'll wait and see.

4 week trip to Asia in July 2012 (if approved by my employer)

It would be 2 weeks (5 days Singapore or some other city, 2 days Shanghai and 1 week Nanjing) with DH
and other 2 weeks just me in Nanjing (while DH will go back to NYC and take care of the baby).

Rough estimate of cost:

$1800 tickets NYC-Singapore-Shanghai-Nanjing-Shanghai-NYC
$1800 Same for DH
(will be cheaper if we use Delta points, but we can't count on it)
$210 tutor in Nanjing 3 weeks (about 1.5 hours daily)
$500 food in nanjing 3 weeks
$200 transportation (taxis, train)
$150 Other, misc.

Singapore
$0 Luxury hotel
$400 Food and drinks (5 days)
$200 Other (attraction fees, etc)
$340 Shanghai 2 days, if hotel is free
$100 other, misc
$5700 Estimated cost

$4,500 Vacation Fund account currently
$250 amex cheques
-$950 still need to fund

Asia vacation shopping fund

$900 needed
(1 cool piece of art, maybe tailored clothing, something unusual that I can't buy here, some clothing for DH who is very skinny)
-$300 funded
$600 to go


I am plannig early because 1) these are big expences and we need time to plan for them 2) it makes these things seem closer and more real
