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!
