I need help from the travel experts!!!!

I'm doing some wishful airline fare shopping on Orbitz for Dec. 20-27, 2008 from Chicago to Phoenix (with a drive up to DL)The rates have been anywhere from 350-450 per person (cheapest) so it was easy to say , "oh well, we really can't do it this year". I was on Orbitz today and found a nonstop rate on United for $233 each including taxes!!!!!!! Only trouble is, I'm wondering if it's a glitch - United, Expedia and Travelocity do not have this cheap fare listed for this flight. Assuming I can convince Pete to pull the trigger, how do I know I'll get the rate???

JEFF, ANYBODY....HELP!

Awesome pics, Heather!

Jen, try to book them and see if that amount comes up. Whatever you do decide fast, those prices won't be there long, I'm sure. Make sure it's not one way prices.

And lastly....this is the Promenade

Dang...it must have been a glitch or something...it won't let me try to book.

Oh well....we really can't afford it anyway

Ok, I guess I should get back to work.

Gorgeous photos, Heather....can't wait to see yours!

I bet you're getting excited now!

 

[disgrits]

Well, I'm off for a bit. Have a great evening all!

And yes, I studied hard! Kegels, kegels, kegels.

Surprisingly I get this joke.

Hey Gang!

I know I haven't been on much for a couple days...things are pretty crazy around here. I'm a bit tired of work at the moment, so I thought I'd catch up.

Sunday we took DS bowling for the first time - it was pretty fun. We invited "Bampa & Grams" (aka Pete's folks) and had a lot of fun. If I remember, I'll post pics tonight.

Jeff's post about being glad he's taking the time now to take trips with his DS got me thinking about our cancelled trip to Phoenix/DL this Christmas...sigh. I still really want to go. DS would have a blast, but unless I can actually snag a rate like I saw a few minutes ago, I'm not sure it's possible.

Ok, enough feeling sorry for myself...

I'm sure something will come up, Jen. Positive thinking
