We've booked our tickets to New Zealand. We will now HAVE to leave. It is real. All day long I have wanted to do a happy dance. We leave Sunday, April 10th and arrive Tuesday April 12th.
Andy's ticket: one way $41 (United)
Katie's ticket: round trip $285 (Us Airways)
How freaking awesome is that? We will still need to get a ticket for Andy to come home, but we don't need it until November (I am signing up for a United card to get frequent flyer miles). Even though we bought the two tickets using different airline companies, we are on the same flight. My ticket could have been virtually free if we had used Andy's American airline miles but the only flight would have been two days later from Andy's, and really that is worth the extra money we paid to be on the same flight.
And tomorrow we have an appointment to see the travel doctor to talk about vaccinations. This is all coming together. So many big things to check off our to-do list tonight.

Did you buy these with miles!?! How are you guys doing this trip!?! We wanna do this soooo bad!! Jobs? Health Ins? Let me in on the 411!!!
ReplyDeleteYup, bought with miles. Andy signed up for a United credit card that had an awesome signing bonus of 50,000 miles when you spend $200. So we used that credit card for groceries. For USairways we just had a ton of miles already and transferred some from my account to Andy's to make it to the required amount.
