Opportunity lost

A smart traveler shops around for flights.

A smart traveler wait to see if prices are dropping or rising.

A silly traveler waits too long and ticket prices jump $500+. Oof.

Smart traveler finds acceptable airfare, for slightly less ideal itinerary, waits no longer, and books it. Specifically, from Dec. 27th until Feb. 25th.



Moral of the story? Don't wait too long when you find the *perfect* flight, but just aren't quite ready to commit. Who wanted such an easy itinerary, anyway??

So what did $2207.40 get me?

Approximately 15,000 miles traveled.

Approximately 40 hours of travel.

A tiny seat in a metal tube full of strangers.

The start of an amazing 2-month long adventure.
