we have a way to get to aruba

yes, we have purchased our plane tickets to aruba. yes, we had already booked the hotel, but there were issues with the plane tickets.

when we first booked the hotel & started looking at plane tickets, the flight to aruba required an overnight layover in atlanta but had a short flight home. this wasn't terrible, but we decided to wait to buy tickets to see if the options changed & b/c we didn't really want to have to pay for them yet.

the next time i looked for tickets, there was a short flight there and back, so i decided that as soon as danny's credit card was in my hand, i would buy them. unfortunately, 2 days later, when his card was in my hand, that flight option had disappeared. in it's place was a short flight there & a long flight home with an overnight layover. a layover on the way there wouldn't have been terrible, but i knew we wouldn't be excited about it on the way back to huntsville when all you want to do is get home. needless to say, i was a bit frustrated.

well, yesterday, i decided it was time to check flights again, and what do you know - the flight option with a short flight there AND back was available! holy crap! no hesitation this time; i'll take them! so, we now actually have transportation to get us to the hotel we have booked. pretty good thing to have really.
