My whole life taking a trip on a plane was built up to be this huge ordeal. We would talk about it for months. Think about it. Analyze it. Analyze it some more. Then wait for the right deal. Check with everybody who could possibly ever be involved and clear it with everyone. If one little snag or one little reason to not take the trip comes up, the entire process starts over again. This sure does result in a lot of trips untaken. How boring!!
Yes, obviously make sure you have the money to take the trip before you go. Check to make sure the person you plan on staying with is actually home. From there, there’s not really much to it.
Get online and don’t spend more than 1 hour looking at prices. Figure out the best deal and schedule combination, make a decision, and click Purchase. Don’t look back.
Something came in up in Chicago that I want to go to. In the past I probably would have thought about how cool that would have been to go to and watched it go by. This time things are different. I sat down, figured out the finances and got on track. 5 days in Chicago with family is a heck of a lot more fun than 5 days here doing squat. Only going 5 days is better than not having gone. I would have spent that same money on crap here. I would have wasted that same 3 hours sitting on a plane sitting on Facebook here.
It’s time I stop making excuses, stop dreaming, and start being a part of the moments that make life.
Chicago Auto Show here I come. Tickets booked today!
