Time to start planning!


It's been a long time since the last post, but amazingly it is time to start planning the next trip!

Trying to find a good fare is always a challenge. There really is no good way to do it, even with the plethora of online travel web sites. I end up using a rather extensize Excel sheet with arrival dates on the rows and departure dates on the columns. I then open about 6 different windows of Expedia and start plugging in the details. It take a while for their site to return an answer, but then I track the results in the sheet. Time consuming? Yes, but worth it for finding a good rate and reasonable travel times.
