Leaving on a Jet Plane

Long Beach Airport at sunset

St. Patrick’s Day.

I paid $127 including all taxes to fly tonight from Long Beach, California to Fort Lauderdale, Florida on Jet Blue and then $83 including all taxes to fly Fort Lauderdale to Bogota, Colombia on Aires, a 3.5 hour flight.   Both companies let you check in one bag free.

How did I manage to get such an amazingly cheap flight down here? I don’t think you could ever find it on a search engine like Kayak or Orbitz.   I did it through research–and I know where to look. I was thinking of this blog acting together with a redesign of my website to be a tool to show that it is easier and cheaper to travel the world than you might think, but I am not sure right now how it is going to play out.   I know indecisiveness is very unsexy, but that’s where it’s at for now. I am starting the blog now and we’ll see where it flows.

This will be a rambling trip, probably around the world, maybe not–who knows?   OK, enough ambiguity!   Let’s go!

  1. Thanks! I recently met a pro writer/journalist who thinks I am approaching the whole thing in the wrong way, so I am not sure how to go about it.
    I wish I could find a cheap way to get out of South America when the time comes. The taxes alone here are crazy.

  2. reading your blog about colombia was the highlight of my morning…makes me want to go back
