As much as I have tried to make it work, it don't look like I will make it again this year. So many things to blame, but mostly the cost to drive there will be out of my reach I am afraid. I still have a few irons in the fire that many come through, but as of right not, things don't look promising. I think I will start a "Twin Oaks" savings account and contribute to it each month for next year so I can assure myself I can get there. Maybe some day.
