Ticket Search

Buying our tickets started out real tricky. Being the savvy shopper than I am, it was my ultimate goal to save as much as I could just for bragging rights. I love travel so this is what I do best, and I am in sales so how hard could it be to negotiate a little airfare? Since it doesn't exactly work that way I had to move on to plan b. Standby. I paid $430 for my ticket to London using Open Skies and I will be using the carrier US Airways. I am thinking that I have very good chances to get on the flight and so what if I get bumped, tripped, scrapped up on the way... I saved over 1,000 on this ticket. My hubby's Jason barely got his ticket for $1200 and that felt like we were at an auction bidding. We went through many different screens, carriers back and forth and ultimately we got it down to the $1200 whew... its over we are booked. He is going on Delta and I am flying on US Airway... For me it all means 10 flights a day heading to Philadelphia from Phoenix only to leave on one large flight to LHR (London Heathrow) at 9:55pm at night. Jason will ultimately travel with out stress or worry since he paid not to worry.

How it came about that we decided to go to London.

It started about 3 months ago when Jason (my husband)was meeting with his ASU counselor. During the meeting he found out that in order to graduate that he must travel abroad. Many options were given but the two that we actually considered were Australia and London. After much deliberating we settled on London. He will be gone roughly a month and I will follow him for about 2 weeks. The funny thing is we don't plan on spending much time together. He will be studying at Oxford University while I spend my days in Paris and London roaming, shopping, and learning. I plan on meeting up with my local kingdom hall and hopefully engaging in the ministry which seems to be the best way to know someone locally. I thought since I will have much time on my hands I will get to write about my experience. I am new to writing, and certainly never have written any sort of blog so let the reader beware.


Graciously,
