Don't fuss over your travel plans as the week begins. Sometimes the best side trips are completely spontaneous, and you need to focus on having fun, not following a schedule. Midweek means trouble for your budget if you're not careful. Weigh potential purchases carefully and your instincts will see you through. Later in the week, you'll wander off the road well traveled. You'll get the gift of insight and see things through the eyes of a native. Take advantage of your newfound perspective to learn about something new. This weekend, you might feel like you're stuck running in circles. Rely on your generosity rather than your pride to show the way out.
