Everyone needs goals

I say I'm going to do a lot of things. I have a lot of brilliant ideas that once I start I don't finish. Lately I've had an attitude of wanting to go back and actually accomplish some of my old goals. One of the things I've been saying forever was that I wanted to go to Hawaii, take surf lessons, and the get a tattoo of a hibiscus. I've been in love with this idea ever since the first time I saw the movie Blue Crush.

Have you ever looked the cost of tickets to Hawaii though? It's not a trip that we can just decide to go on one winter, we would have to save up for it. And since we like to go south every winter we end up choosing more affordable options.

But now I'm in my new job and I'm going to be traveling so I have the opportunity to rack up the frequent flyer miles. Aeroplan has a cool app that lets you set goals and shows you how far away from reaching it.

So I am 23% of the way to having enough points to get two round trip tickets to Hawaii. I think I can accomplish this by next winter. If not then definitely I will be there in time to book the tickets for the winter of 2014/2015. Within 2 years I will finally finish something I've been saying for 10 years that I want to do. It feels nice.

I also got a credit card that gives me Aeroplan points to keep my expenses separate from my regular life.

So this is my new hobby, collecting Aeroplan points. I'll keep you posted on my progress!
