She is getting her driver's license soon, Ontario has followed the general new idea for licenses the rest of Canada is doing, you get 3 stages of Licenses, the third one is your final full license, the other 2 are intermediates with various restrictions. Takes about a year or so before you get the full way.

I managed to save up enoughthat we have lots of money for having fun, I have about 900 saved up, so that's plenty for a cheap fare and lots of fun times, Ontario has lots of fun stuff to do.

The next trip we are planning to do together, to go to Europe as we both have family there, plys my other side of the family, 2 brothers and another sister (who is only 1 1/2) is there.

As always I have to make sure she is behaving herself and make sure the guys lay off, knowing that I'll take the next flight out if they try anything...heheheh!

I think the Europe trip is going to be the best, I know I will have to take a good 12 rools of film at least on that trip, there is so much in Europe to see. That trip will cost roughly 3000 dollars, that of course is including enough money for having fun and flights, it's nice we won't have to pay for Hotels or anything as we have family we can stay with, otherwise it would cost way too much.

So, here's to good time that are gonna happen!

Anyway the reason for this is that flights are ridiculously cheap. My G/f an I flew from Scotland to France for about 10 USD each way. My parents flew fom Scotland to Italy for about 20 USD return. Some friends flew from Scotland to Germany for about 2 USD each way. Tax on each booking is about 15 USD.

The same flights with BA or someone would have cost around 100-200 USD.

The key to getting these cheap flights is looking at the websites for these companies about a 2-3 weeks in advance and being prepared to fly before 8am or after 8pm, give or take. The prices follow a cycle which goes something like this, start high, reach a low about 2 weeks before departure, rise until the last minute, then they might drop off again on the last 2 days if the flight is fairly empty.'

Anyway have fun, hopefully my family will be making the trip from the UK to Aus sometime this year to come and visit me!

I have a problem with vintage electronics. . .I am working on it.

So, it's gonna cost more since we live away from each other.

I plan on skipping town for a few bills to pay for the trip. My Visa cards and ISP won't care if I skip a month. heheheh

Well, maybe not my Visa but my ISP can go without an extra hundred bucks for a month. ;-)

See, if I wait more than a month, I'll end up spending money on something else I'm bad for saving. Right now I have my funds tied in a online system so it's a little harder to get at it, makes it nice for saving it.
