Not Quite. . .

One more post. Remember when I said on Monday we had our plane tickets to the World Cup? Turns out we didn't (thanks a bunch you-know-who!). After deciding on dates and specific flights we all argued over whose credit card to put the tickets on - oddly enough we were all arguing to have it put on our own card. That's the beauty of cash/bonus back deals. Cody gets Discover 1% cash back, I get Amazon.com points and Person #3 (who will remain nameless for this post) gets a bit more then 1% cash back, so we all agreed we would be best putting it on his card. So he agreed to get the tickets Monday. But didn't get around to it - figured what's another day when we've waiting this long (not to say I wouldn't have done the same thing but since it wasn't me I have someone to "blame" - the beauty of responsibility). So, as our luck goes, the tickets we were going to get were $200 more on Tuesday. So since then we've been frantically searching every airline, search engine and major airport in Europe for some decently cheap flights. . . and there haven't been any. Cheapest we could find was $1200. We finally found some we had settled on this afternoon - they were $150 more then our original tickets and crappier flighs but they would get us there. But then Cody on a whim decided to check the "Multi-destination flights" - I hadn't even looked at them thinking they would be way more expensive - turns out they were cheaper! So he got me searching those until I found one for $900 (cheaper then our original tickets) that flys into Paris (leaves STL at better times too) and flys out of Brussels (better times). Only one lay-over each way (in Chicago) and no changing airports in NYC (like the old ones)!!! The great thing is now we can fly into Paris, see it, do the World Cup thing, travel some more, and then go to Brussels, see it and fly out of there. No going back to where you started to see a city you've already seen!! PERFECT! Okay, so Person #3's not in so much trouble with me anymore - though I might just give him another bloody nose just for kicks and giggles. :) GERMANY HERE WE COME!!!
