The Joys of Travel

So it is not as easy as one thinks to get in and out of this city we now live in.
When I first moved here I thought, 'It will be so easy to fly in and out of NYC.'
Yeah, not so much.
It's hard to get to and from the airport. It's hard to get flights and decent times of the day, and even when you do get a flight, 90% of the time it's not going to leave on time - too much air traffic, especially out of Laguardia.
This weekend the Boy and I spent oodles of time trying to figure out when we were going home for Christmas, how long we would stay, how time would be divided between families, etc, etc.
We finaly figured it out, found a ticket that would work, and then forgot to buy the tickets. Now, 5 days later, the tickets have gone up $100.
So we just spent our Friday night rearranging our trip.
Now we're coming back New Years Eve (because it's $100 cheaper). I have an awful feeling about flying back here on New Years Eve, so keep your fingers crossed for me, the Boy, and our little Jack...
And if you come to visit, get your tickets way ahead of time, and fly with lots of patience!!!
