I spent a large chunk of my time yesterday searching and researching flights to New York. I had it all picked out, with a flight into Rochester, and out of JFK, with a rental car picked out and all ready to book. I just needed to check it with my significant other and make sure he approved (I’m a little insecure about spending large amounts of money on non-refundable items like airline tickets) and I hadn’t made some silly mistake like enter May instead of June. So, when he got home, I checked the web page to show him, and *silly me* it had expired. Not having time to redo it all, I left it until this morning. <\/p>\n
So, this morning, I went to travelocity (home of the gnome–which reminds me, is anyone else disturbed that they moved amazing race to Wednesday? Is that just for this week or for forever? Now there’s nothing good to watch on Tuesday!), input all the same stuff I had yesterday, and find that the flights listed yesterday were not listed tody. Today they only had Delta flights (and it’s kind of iffy to book a Delta flight at the moment) for more than $100 more each. And they only went up from there. UGH!!! Why did I wait!?? Why didn’t I just click on “Purchase” yesterday? Ugh!! Why do they make this so hard? (Ryan tells me it’s because you’re supposed to use a travel agent who will do all this for you.)<\/p>\n
So, click on other travel sites: Orbits, Priceline, trying to find another site that will let me choose multiple destinations (they don’t all let you do that, you know), and I found “lowestfare.com”. So, I started the whole process over–departing city, departing date, blah, blah, blah. It came up with fares priced LOWER than the fares I was looking at yesterday! So, it’s booked! We actually are going to New York! I’m so excited! We’re going to stay with my parents in Palmyra for a few days, then drive to New York city and spend a couple of days there, and then fly home! With no kids! <\/p>\n
Now I have to work on figuring out where all the kids are going to go (oh, don’t look at me like that, I already have three of them arranged, I just have to find homes for two more! I’m not a total slacker of a mother!)<\/p>\n
So, if you have any tips on where to stay and how to get cheap play tickets in New York, let me know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
