OMG, I just saw this post and I was thinking you read my mind. I booked our flights late because we were going to drive to save money. But I found this fare on NW for $135 round trip and was soo excited. Once I booked it I felt like I can touch my vacation now. It's really happening.
hehe, congrats! We actually booked our flights FIRST - back in October when I found a RT fare of only $125ea from DFW. The availability on the cheap airfare was actually what dictated our travel dates... forced me to add an extra day - right now I wish I could have added a few more.
TOTALLY!!! Booked the flight for Sept free dining, and it seems far more real than the fact that we leave next Sunday to drive down! How does that work?!?
Just booked our September flights today - now it's real
Still watching fares for December - we're going, but there is no way I'm paying more to fly and rent a car than we're paying to stay and DxDP! I'll drive it before I'll pay what they're asking right now ($719pp RT...and the car is more than a grand!)...sheesh!
