Yippee! July 10th thru the 16th. Airfare had been holding steady at $517 and I was just about to bite... then I thought I would check priceline and they had a buy it now option for $272 on Delta. Delta doesn't have this price on their website. Well I jumped on it.
I leave at 6:30am on Sunday. Sounds brutal but Leif will be awake and ready to entertain. Layover in Salt Lake for an hour and then onto Denver arriving right before noon. We leave the following Saturday at about noon and get home via the same route about 4:30pm. This way we will spend some time on each weekend with daddy.
Speaking of daddy... he isn't a very happy camper about this. I should be happy that he likes spending so much time with his family. And I am happy about this. But I am looking forward to a week with my mom. I am in need of some serious shopping, good food and I want to take Leif to the zoo with his cousins and Aunt.
Yeah, Hans probably could have come with, but he wasn't overly thrilled about it. Would rather go to Alaska. And hopefully he will have started a new job at that point and unfortunatly will not have vacation time accrued.
So now I get to start thinking about all the travel logistics of travelling with an almost one year old. Ugh.
Tentative plan... borrow a stroller (mom has an umbrella stroller she bought for my neice), buy a carseat and have it shipped to moms, then have it shipped back and waa laa Hans has a car seat for his car, put Leif in the kangaroo pouch and carry his diaper bag and my purse. It is rare that this flight has space for him to have a seat. We are always crammed in tiny planes.
Opinions? Suggestions?
