Well we got a call back from the auto shop and they can’t fix the car it’s the engine which they do work on that part. So now we are stuck with a tow fee and have to drive the van all the way back here and pay for the engine to get fix. Which means we are screwed right now. It’s either I try to get more money back for vacation which it wouldn’t be all of the money at all just a small part back and tell the kids we are not going after telling the, for months. Or make the car sit till we can pay the tow. Money which won’t happen till after we got back from vacation because that’s when my husband gets paid. I’m not sure how much it coast for the engine to be done. So yeah great!

Your children will feel sad when the vacation is cancelled but I hope things will be okay and you can still have the plan that you planned.

The plan was to go on vacation. As of right now the van is sitting at the shop till I can pay for the towing fees.

That is rough, and one of the problems of living on one income! I hope it works out.

I know it can be frustrating at times. It depends om what is wrong with the engine.

That of course but right now it’s the money to get it to the other shop for them to tell us roughly how much.

I hope you can figure out a way to still go somewhere on a vacation.
