Live, Learn, Feel & Travel

This simple blog will be the start of something great. It's my official rebirth and my stories from abroad and thus from within. This is my pain, my joy, my sadness, my emptiness, my dislike, my love and most importantly my anger. I don't make any guarantees that this will be a fun ride.

We're off to Hawaii

well it's been harrowing to say the least, but we're finally and i mean finally booked for hawaii. i was actually booked last week on a return fare from toronto to honolulu at $2800 (for two people). i'm an immigrant and inherently tight with money and so i checked the expedia site yesterday and the tickets were listed at $930 return!! that's $800 less than what i paid for them. i was outraged but left it as is and it took great strength and will to not call expedia and get them to refund my money. today the fucking tickets are $630 return!! after shitting a full grown cat, i called up expedia to try to get a refund of a whopping $1400. that's a lot of money that i ain't spending in hawaii. after an hour on the phone with them, i finally got them to cancel the origial tickets at $2800 and book new ones for $1300 and change. can you believe that? so now i have tickets to honolulu and credits to anywhere i want to go in the world. the really sweet deal is that in about 24 hours from me writing this post the same tickets went up to $3500!!! yes, the immigtant in me wins again.
