Dear Abby,

My boyfriend and I have to get away, but we don't have a lot of money. We just need some time alone away from the stress of work and family, what do you suggest we do?

Needed Getaway in Green Bay

Dear Needed Getaway,

If you just need some time away, you don't need to fly to Mexico, stay around the area. Even if you escape to Milwaukee or Chicago for a weekend, you'll save way more than you would booking an exotic vacation. Otherwise, there's nothing wrong with staying in Green Bay and just going out to a nice dinner that you otherwise wouldn't do, just to be different and forget the everyday stresses that we all have. Have fun and relax!
