An alternative option is to spend on something that's going to get you the maximum enjoyment for your budget at home or within your driving travel distance. For overseas travel, frequent some of the astronomy forums and find local astronomers and astronomy groups. You get to meet like minded people, can get guided around unfamiliar skies if you want and access to much more aperture than you can carry.
There are places in the world where you can rock up with a pizza and get use of a CCD camera, OTA and mount that are way better than I could afford at home.
