ellenmillionI just forked over $800 to get to INATS. >.<
I did pay about $100 extra NOT to sleep on the floor at the Anchorage airport overnight. (Not a nice convenient overnight where I could go stay with someone, no... one of those where I get in at 12 AM and leave at 7 AM.) I can pay that out of my pocket to get good sleep and not arrive at INATS looking like a zombie. Actually, for that extra $100, I get decent flights, don't have to get up god-awful early or come in in the wee hours of night, don't lose any sleep, might get to see something of the rockies...
I spent literally 2 and a half hours on the phone with travel agents and trying all the online services. Travelocity pisses me off because they have all these sweet listed $700 itineraries that - when you click to reserve them - woops! price JUST went up to $1050! After about EIGHT of those, I went to another site.
I hate money.
And airlines.
And phones.
Other than that, good day, good weekend! Got some art done, finished shelvinating the connex box, found many old sketchbooks and hugged my boxes of books before putting them away.
Now I've got a few more INATS things to do, and then PA for a while (adopted galleries are ooooold!), then a big bookmark order, gotta get the bios in order for the EA book, some other orders, some other stuff, some OTHER other stuff... the usual.

Date: 2005-06-07 12:27 am (UTC)What I've been doing is finding those deals on Travelocity and then going directly to the airlines themselves, i.e., on the phone, which is surprisingly easy, or has been so far (and I hate phones too). I got a great deal on my last set of airline tickets that way.
Stupid Travelocity. But at least now you have the trip to look forward to. :)
