You're right, it does come across as a bit of a nag (and I should tell you that I'm smiling as I write this, so don't take my snap-response too hard).
I do a little bit resent the idea that we *ought* to be going or *ought to want to go*, and I don't really feel as though I ought to have to make an excuse. But I will because I think mine will be a lot like a lot of other people's: We're just too darn busy, and I'm uptight about spending the money in conjunction with a bunch of other unexpected and semi-expected expenses we're incurring right now.
