The Plan is taking shape

I was looking online last night at what airfare will cost me for a round trip ticket from either Manchester, NH (MHT) or Boston, MA (BOS) to Dallas (DFW) for three days. Somewhere in the neighborhood of $300.00 and up. There are so many on-line places to purchase airline tickets these days that it can get kind of confusticating. So I called my older sister C and left her a message & sent her an e-mail.

I decided to call her back tonight, since I hadn't heard back from her. Older sister C (as opposed to younger sister C) was a travel agent for many years and currently works for an airline at the Portland, Maine airport. Right off the top she suggested I use one of her "buddy passes." She gets eight of these every year, at significant discount from regular airfare. So tomorrow she will find out the cost so that I can send her a check and then she will send me the tickets.

It's all about who you know, right? How cool is that?

I will be in Dallas sometime on Wednesday, March 1. The reason for my going takes place on March 2 & 3. As it stands now, I'll be flying back on the 3rd, but maybe on the 4th or 5th, depending on what the best arrangements I can make are and what other things there are to do in the "big D".

Actually, I'm kind of excited about it. It is always interesting going to a place for the first time.

Now I have something to look forward to.
