I'm glad you got another job lined up and that your family is assiting you... you held out longer than I would have.
I also wanted to mention that sometimes it's cheaper to do like netflix through the mail and use the library than to have cable... for me to have DVR and cable (the only way I can watch shows I want since I'm never home) it's like $50... which is kind of insane. I gave it up this month for a netflix plan especially because you can do netflix streaming onto your TV with internet.
Another idea, I dunno how soon your vacation is... but if you're going to feel guilty being there or are going to have to spend money while there you might want to call the company and see if it's transferable and you can sell it to a family member or friend.
