i have a plan for next summer!

[dancingyel]

i just spent 20 minutes or so on the phone with a person from united, trying to use my miles to book a trip, and it worked! i'll be going to greece and israel next summer! woohoo! now, cin needs to get her flight, but that shouldn't be as complicated. yay!

and no, i don't normally plan trips a year out, but flying to europe with frequent flyer miles requires this kind of planning. as it is, i didn't get my first choice of trip dates because the only flights with award seats left for the days we wanted required two stops, and i wasn't really willing to do that. especially not with a stop in london, what with airport madness the way it is.

Awesome! I'm sure it'll be really really beautiful. :-)

I keep dreaming about running off places, but, um, I think I need to stay put for a while yet. At least until I've passed my quals. Then maybe I'll go somewhere awesome like Japan or Iceland or ... I dunno. So much world I want to see.

:-P

I know, I wish I could travel lots and lots. As it is, the only reason I can do this summer trip is that I have the frequent flier miles, and it'll be the summer after my first year, so I'll still be able to get away. After that...probably not for a while. Unless I can go work with someone for a semester, of course...

I'll let you know when we get the dates narrowed down...it'll be sometime between June 20 and July 4, but I don't know exactly when. I'm gonna have to coordinate with family, too...good grief!
