My First Vacation

Hi everyone, my name is Vicki and im 26 years old. Ive always wanted to travel outside the United States but never had the money to do so. I have worked a long time, working 2 part time jobs and literally living paycheck to paycheck.
My friend from work has invited me to join her on a cruise to The Bahamas for her cousins wedding in February 2015. Its my first opportunity to really travel.
I get one vacation a year to visit my family and missing a weeks worth of work is hard to catch up with. I live in georgia and my family is in delaware so my parents have thankfully paid for my plane ticket this year.
But my friend needs the money, $275, by this November. I have no way of saving up the money by then. Im already paying for the passport and saving up for other expenses. I only have a couple months for the passport to arrive and get all in order.

I just need help paying for this trip of a lifetime. It could be the only one i ever have outside the U.S.

Thanks, Vicki
