White sapphire/Things you would buy
I saw this ring listed on a jewelry classifieds that I frequent, and I tohught some people here might find it interesting since there's been a lot of talk of diamond alternatives. It's a white sapphire that's an antique cut (Old European). It's the prettiest most clear white sapphire I've seen, and it's pretty sizeable too. Then again, I only have pics to judge it by.

I know this sounds like a plug, but it's not. I just think it's really pretty, and would make a pretty engagement ring. Plus it's only $500. Too bad I'm on a jewelry ban right now, haha.
To make this a discussion, post pics of things you would buy if you had the money. Doesn't have to be a ring.

[QUOTE]Does a plane ticket, accomodations, and program fees count even though I have no picture? I really want to do this opera program in Italy, but it's something like $7000 not including air fare to Chianti... not gonna happen I'm afraid! :( Panda, that house is really cool looking!

I can totally sympathize with wanting to take more classes for stuff. I would love to take dance, but it's mostly kids classes where I live. I also hate having to write individual cheques (can't bring myself to spell it the American way... sorry!) for my voice lessons.
Elle - what kind of car is that? It's very nice!

I had to give up my African safari vacation that I was planning with my mom this year. Bonuses weren't what they have been in the past...so yeah, i'd totally buy my vacation back!
*drool*
And I'd by some new clothes. I'd spend more than $20 on each item and they'd probably last more than a month... I'm talking to you, Forever 21 $9.50 jeans />:(

And I'd put this in the back:
ZOMG I want a kitchen garden. This puts my current garden to total shame.
And we'd probably get one or two of these:
On a more realistic note, I'd probably buy this:

I'm secretly hoping FI gets that for me as my wedding gift, but there's a long story behind that.

And when I was checking flights for work to go to our next conference in May, I saw that OneWorld (the international airline group that American Airlines is part of - and I usually fly AA) has round-the-world tickets - one set price, you can stop in 3, 4, or 5 continents on your way around the world, but your tickets have to all go in one direction (east or west) without backtracking, so you literally go all the way around the world. SO COOL! They're $3200 each ticket for economy class to 3 continents, which is a lot, but for up to 9 stops, it's a really, really good deal! Apparently they had this on the movie "Up in the Air"? I haven't seen it, my colleague told me.
I mentioned it to BF, but we'd have to save way more than is probably possible. And we'd have to take 5 weeks for the whole thing to make it worthwhile, so we can enjoy each place, and so we don't get massively burnt out. But we'll have the time, as it will be right before he reports for training, and I will have just finished at my new job and waiting until January to start grad school. Soooo I'm going to TRY to save that much! It's probably impossible. But at least I'll have motivation to save a lot, and having extra savings is never bad!
We even planned our dream vacation last night (as BF's sister had left to go back home). We want all direct flights to make our lives less stressful, so that somewhat dictates our route. We'd go from Miami to San Francisco. Spend 3 days in San Fran before going to Beijing. Spend 1 week in Beijing, and then go to Bangkok. Spend 10 days in Bangkok before going to Mumbai. Spend 1 week in Mumbai before going to London. Spend 2 days in London before going to Sevilla. Spend 1 week in Sevilla before going back to Miami.
It would be AMAAAAAAZING! But even if we cut short the expensive locations and maximize the cheap ones, it'll still be massively expensive.

Oh and just an FYI, my e-ring has 6 white sapphires on it and they are so sparkly!
