While your appreciation for all things creative is up at the beginning of the week, your competence with financial matters isn't quite so healthy. Watch the trip budget, read the fine print and count your change. Midweek, you'll be one happy traveler if you can shoehorn some learning into your itinerary: try a museum of local history or an architectural walking tour or a cooking class. Don't let your stubborn side kick in when dealing with ticket agents, security guards or persons in a position of authority this weekend. Charm 'em instead.
