I think if I did go I would be really cautious about spending my money and in turn not have as good as a time than if I had a lot of money to spend. We will find time to go again. Whether it be next year or in a few years we will go, when money is not an option.
About the flying up part. I can afford to spend $80 on a roundtrip ticket up to her place. I can't afford to spend over $400 on airfare and hotel and come back with pennies in the bank and a huge friggin debt to pay off. I have no source of income whatesoever. I have a workstudy job to help pay for school. So the only income I have is the gas money my parents give me to drive to the gym. There will always be another time for us to go. There is a big difference between $80 and $400. Besides, I think its the best alternative that I can come up with since I can't go. I also thought to myself, why would I go all the way over to France and not be able to spend the night with my girlfriend? I know she would probably sleep with me at the hotel but she has her own friggin room, which the lady won't let me stay in because she doesn't allow overnight visitors. Its kind of ridiculous that I would have to buy a hotel room to spend the night with my girlfriend, even if she did pay for half of it, it would be silly. If I could've stayed with her for free I would've totally gone.
