Your trip sounds amazing. I have several places I want to visit on my bucket list, but I have been blessed in that area. My father passed away when I was 12 years old, he had been sick my entire life, so money was very tight. Yet my mom, who shared her love of reading, always seemed to have money for me to go on the school trips I wanted to, Washington DC, Niagara Falls, Marching with my High School band at Epcot. Then later she helped make it possible for me to visit Clearwater Florida with friends after my heart and stomach surgery (she hoped it would help with the depression). So even though I haven't "won" the vacation lottery per se, I have most definitely won the MOM lottery!
