question about a fundraiser

BinksMomma3016

So we are hosting a fundraiser for a dear friends mother who got diagnosed with inoperable stage 4 lung cancer and were going to donate a cruise for a raffle. Anyway, I was wondering how much time would you need in advance to take off for a vacation, save for one or whatever. However air is not included. I searched air for that time and its about 200-300 per person. Do you think if you won a 4/5 day cruise that the 600 for air wouldnt be a big deal?? A cruise includes entertainment, all your meals and non-alcoholic drinks....what do you ladies think......The fundraiser is in two weeks and theres a great deal on a cruise for the end of january or in sept of 2010. Is jan too early and sept too far away? No you do not need a passport if your port is a US city and we have one day passports in Chicago anyway. So what do you think? Like I said we are going to donate a trip but we arent made of money either so these dates are the cheapest

January would be doable for me in terms of my job and getting time off. However if I needed to pay the $600 in airfare right after the holidays that might be a problem, so for me Sept. would be better.
