Wheee! Finally booked plane tickets for Writercon....

GIP! New Calvin and Hobbes icon from [livejournal.com profile] jellobag. Isn't it cute?

Sooooo, lazy, I swear to God. I only just now bought my Boston-Atlanta-Boston roundtrip tix for [livejournal.com profile] writercon.

Roundtrip for me was $297.60 ($282.60 for the roundtrip; $15 for travel insurance) aaaaand I got window seats both ways. Wa-hoooooo!

Sad but true, Priceline seemed to be the cheapest by $2 of all 10 sites I looked at. And is it me, or do all the online airline ticket sites go to either Expedia or Orbitz?

I'll be arriving fairly early Thursday afternoon (@ 1 p.m. in Atlanta), so who's gonna be around? I'm pretty sure I'll be jonesing for something foodish or coffeeish since I'm on a nonstop with cheap-o tickets.

Anyhoo...I'll be sharing a room with [livejournal.com profile] ponders_life at the con hotel *waves to ponders* I think I might even be beating her in. I dunno.

So, who'll be going on my FList?

That's pretty much the price I paid (minus the travel insurance, do they offer that when you buy the tickets? I never saw it, but I bought from the airline's website directly rather than through Priceline/Orbitz/etc.) I'm getting in about an hour and a half after you are, around 2:30 I think.

Priceline was offered to me on the way to the electronic checkout. I debated back and forth the additional cost and decided that it would be worth it if, say, my lugage went missing.

Co0L!!!11! We'll meet up in person! Awesome! :-)

Probably very sensible. I hope the chances of luggage getting lost will be smaller with a direct flight, but you never know. I'm *so* looking forward to getting to meet you! :-)

I'm so looking forward to meeting you, too! Is it just you, or is the fam coming along?

I'd bring George the Amazing Lovebird, but he's booked for the week with my parents. He's looking forward to harassing them already with his birdy ways.
