Many flights? Lucky you!! And an RTW trip? Imagine the moment when you purchase that airfare…so go and make it happen!

I booked many flights this week – going lots of places this Spring and VERY excited about it.

Also…..researching airfare for a possible RTW starting in November. Soo much to think about and ponder. It’s mostly fun though (the hard part – figuring out financials). Yet every time I hit that “purchase” button the happy dance is worth any anxiety

Yes – a video would be hilarious and fun. Definite thing I think other travelers could relate to!!

Haha…I guess you’re right…I suppose all airline booking experiences are not the same at all. Hopefully you got your reservation in the end?

If you think Air India is bad, just wait until you try to book one of the budget airlines for a trip within India. Last time, I took three trips to the Spice Jet airlines office despite booking my ticket online, paid three times (because it failed to work the first two times) and then finally discovered that I didn’t have a reservation when I showed up at the airport, even though I had a confirmation in my hand.

Unless you are booking Air India, then it is a nightmare.

Hey Nate – That’s excellent that you just booked a flight. I always hesitate for such a ridiculously long time wondering if I have the best deal, if I should really go, if I have the correct date…but it’s all happiness once its over with! Where and when are you headed to Mexico?

And that wasn’t a knock on Milwaukee, it was literally the first place that randomly popped into my head!

That is definitely a good lesson regarding the private vs public hospitals and is probably good advice for many countries. I can’t imagine what that entire ordeal must have been like for you. One bad operation seems like enough, let alone ‘a few’.

At least it isn’t stopping you from traveling, I’m happy to see that. Safe travels on Wednesday and enjoy your time in Europe!

Hahahaha….this is great! I just recently booked a flight to Mexico and I had the same feelings. Looking everything over multiple times, the hesitation of pushing the button and then the actual freedom and excitement I feel after pushing it! Awesome stuff!

Oh…I grew up right outside of Milwaukee. Not a bad town, but yeah, it’s not so fun in the winter!
