craziness

I'm currently trying to get a round trip ticket up to Alaska to visit my boyfriend in the end of July. It's been a pain in the neck dealing with the mileage plan and Alaska's confusing website, and their representative agrees that it's confusing. Now my dad thinks he's found a better deal. So we're changing the nonrefundable ticket to get said "better deal." This "better deal"--and I say this somewhat bitterly--involves me catching a 6:40am--yes, A.M.--flight that will deposit me at my location around noon. Now tell me this, how does a two hour flight turned six or seven hours equal a "better deal"? Honestly, I'm none too pleased with the results.

However, my parents are my parents, they've been around the block a few times, and I can begrudgingly say that they know what they're doing in this. Doesn't make me any more pleased to be taking an early morning flight. :P Ah well, I guess I get to deal with it. Maybe some other day I'll get to make my own decisions and deal with those consequences. In the meantime, I should be grateful for the safety net my parents have ready for me.

Anyhow, I now get to countdown till when I go up to AK. 62 days, baby! Woot woot!
