Thailand and Cambodia on Hold

Just as The Husband and I were about to book our flights to Thailand this weekend I received some bad news at the office yesterday. All salaries have been reduced 10%. So this will reduce the travel budget quite a bit. We're still keeping the prospect open and have thought of ways of reducing the cost of the trip. This includes cutting down on some of the activities and skipping Cambodia. But the other part of me thinks if we're going all the way to Thailand (which is like 19 hours total on a plane), I don't want to skip Angkor Wat. I also don't want to shorten the trip too much to save money because the likelihood of us going back for a very long time is very slim. Too many other places to see. I also hate being on a strict budget for vacations and don't find it very enjoyable.

Another option we're entertaining is a shorter trip that would still make use of The Husband's time off next Christmas is a trip to Barcelona and the surrounding area for a week. If we don't travel around too much costs should remain pretty low. I'm also open to any other ideas for about 10 days after Christmas.
