The Bauble Dept.: how we afforded adventure

I've always wondered where people, especially younger people, find the money to travel. A few of you have asked about how we planned and paid for this trip, so I know I'm not the only one! I haven't done much traveling of my own, until now, and I hope that this trip is just the tip of the iceberg.  I still can't tell you how other people do it, but maybe the little bit that we have figured out will serve us well (and hopefully, some of you) in planning for our future travels.
