The Search Is On!!

It is that time of year again, the search for the perfect airline ticket price!! I love it and hate it at the same time. This year I am doing the unthinkable, purchasing 7 round trip tickets!!! How did my kids grow up so fast!! Tanner, the youngest, turned two in October so he now he gets his own ticket. The good news is he doesn't have to sit on my lap and squirm around for hours on our trip. The bad news, another $300 -$400 to fork out!! I need to get a job to cover this!! I propose that the airlines only charge a percentage for kids. For example, 2 yr = 20% 3yr = 30%, you get the idea. It is a wonderful plan, right!! Every little bit would help. I guess that the airlines are thinking that no one else is crazy enough to take 5 kids on an airplane at one time. I prepare ahead of time for the nasty, dirty looks that we receive when we haul our five kids on the plane. I try to keep calm and maintain my Christian testimony. It is hard. Ok, what was I talking about? Oh yeah, the search. For the next few weeks to months, I will spend way too much time on the computer. I look at list of websites and punch in a combination of a few different dates, trying to get the best deal. The hardest part is jumping on the best price that I find. Just a few dollars makes a different when purchasing 7 tickets. So here's to the hunt. May I stretch our dollars to the limit. The search begins ....
