the rise and fall...

I am officially going to Costa Rica this summer. That's right, I bought my ticket! So from May 7th to August 2nd...we cannot hang out. That is, of course, unless you will be in Costa Rica with me!

I have to say though, that I feel like buying a plane ticket is a little like playing the stockmarket....or "Deal or No Deal". I kept my eye on that ticket for like 2 weeks....it rose...it fell...it rose again...it fell again...and then steadily fell....and I kept saving the new ticket on Expedia, until the one day I went to check on the price, my ticket was gone from the regular list! So, I went and bought my saved one...and I was thankful, because checking the price since then, I got the last ticket at my price - they are all now at least $100 more.

Whew.

Needless to say - there's a lot of stress in watching prices like that. I for one, would not make a good stock broker. And maybe I shouldn't try and get on "Deal or No Deal Canada". But I'm going to Costa Rica!
