Well, here we go. Crossing the Pacific. 16 hour flight to Seoul. Gods bless my neck pillow, noise canceling headphones, Kindle, and Tangle. Hopefully, melatonin and muscle relaxant will help me sleep.

The funniest thing that's happened to me is that I accidentally took a throwing knife through TSA for an international flight and I didn't even know I had a knife in my backpack until I sat down to eat hours later and felt the knife in a side pocket

How to Find Hidden Deals on Domestic and International Flights

Traveling, whether for business or leisure, can be an exciting experience, but the cost of flights often represents a significant portion of the travel budget. However, with some savvy searching and strategic planning, you can uncover hidden deals on Domestic and International Flights. Here’s how you can find these elusive bargains:

Use Flight Comparison Websites

Flight comparison websites like Skyscanner, Kayak, and Google Flights are excellent starting points. These platforms aggregate flight options from various airlines, displaying a range of prices and routes. They often include budget airlines that may not appear on traditional airline websites.

Set Fare Alerts

Setting up fare alerts on sites like Airfarewatchdog or Hopper allows you to track prices for specific routes. These alerts notify you when prices drop, helping you secure the best deal. Be flexible with travel dates to maximize your chances of finding lower fares.

Book in Advance

While last-minute deals can sometimes be found, booking your flights well in advance generally yields better prices. Aim to book domestic flights at least three weeks in advance and international flights about two to three months ahead of your travel dates.

Consider Alternative Airports

Major cities often have multiple airports and flying into or out of a less popular airport can save you money. For example, if you’re traveling to New York City, compare prices for flights into JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark. Sometimes, a short drive to or from a different airport can result in significant savings.

Use Airline Miles and Points

If you’re a frequent traveler, make sure to enroll in airline loyalty programs. Accumulating miles and points can lead to free or discounted flights. Additionally, some credit cards offer travel rewards that can be redeemed for flights. Check your credit card benefits and see if you can leverage them for your next trip.

When January officially started, we were flying high above the Labrador Sea, the one right there above the North Atlantic Ocean. We were flying somewhere south of Greenland, three hours behind Greenwich Mean Time, as December 31, 2023 became January 1, 2024. 

Earlier, when we boarded and took our seats, I asked one of the stewards if there was a way to know when New Year’s would arrive on the plane.

He said “Yes there is… but it involves math.”

Oh good grief.

Fortunately there was WiFi on board and I managed to figure it out.

After that, we were on a fully immersive and meaningful visit with my family in Holland through Sunday, January 7th.

The way it felt is as if we jumped into 2024 midstream.

“Midstream” with a touch of jet lag that hung on for a week, week-and-a-half.

“Midstream” where, after the 7th, I mean the very next day, I immediately returned to all the different places I work including my personal edit suite.

“Midstream” where Kimmer continued her doctoral studies during our trip and every day after, a relentless exercise of writing writing writing after reading reading reading on top of lectures, tests, and class discussion.

Oh yeah. And then Kimmer's full-time job. 

My uncle, aunt, and their two kids (my cousins who are, in fact, no longer “kids”), took off from Amsterdam mid-month and we've been following their grand adventure to and across Indonesia in an app called Polarsteps ever since with about a week, week-and-a-half to go. A ton of photographs, a map tracking their progress, and the occasional post updating their experiences.🙂

This is also, legitimately, the beginning of the year and we're considering any and all things that need to be done differently. Or even… things that need to be done. Mostly those considerations have to do with businesses, receipts, and accounting. You know. The super fun stuff. 🤣🤣🤣

I'm also seeing us wanting to be more intentional in our relationships including (and especially) the ones five thousand miles away and the ones temporarily adventuring eight thousand four hundred miles away. Largely because the experiences we had with the people closest to us at the top of the month (even as they live far away) created a lot of continuing memories.

Continuing memories?

Yeah.

Like imagining what happens next. Like thinking about what would be great if it happened next.

Continuing memories.

Here's something new, though. 

We are now a family of four.

Four?

Yes. Now remember, we're empty-nesters so by definition we’re a family of two. Add a cat (Dinker)...

Now we've got a family of three.

Our fourth comes to us from a dear friend who's heading off to New York either to live at a friend's place while she's away a few months… or to be there be there.

No idea what's gonna happen.

So as of Monday afternoon, 2:30pm, we're a family of four in which cat number 1 (Dinker) and cat number two (Quarter Note) are aware of each other…

But they’ve not laid eyes on each other.

It's part of a routine we’re following from a YouTube channel to manage a good meeting and outcome between the two cats rather than let ‘em loose in the same room and hope for the best.

So far, Quarter Note’s spent a solid twenty-four hours under the protection of the family room couch, only venturing out from its safety for food, water, and bathroom breaks. When no one, of course, is around.

Over the last hour, though, Quarter Note's been sending mixed signals, coming out to rub up against my legs, enjoying his sides being stroked or his head.

And then low-key hissing.

Don't know what to tell you. There's no claws out. No arching back or incredibly puffy tail…

And then he's enjoying strokes and rubbing up against my legs.

At one point he considers jumping onto the couch. He's got his front paws on the edge… but decides against it, opting instead for wandering back and forth while letting his tail stroke against the bottoms of my extended legs.

Cats are weird.

Right now he's under the couch again. But every so often pokes his head out to look at me for a moment before pulling back underneath.

So that's happening.

Finally, I read an article in the New York Times that captured perfectly these weeks following Christmas. The article’s called “The Joy and Sorrow of Streaming”. Written by Melissa Kirsch, Desiree Ibekwe, and Melissa Clark, it starts like this:

“The year continues to get its bearings, to establish itself. Right now, it’s still a collection of post-holiday weeks, getting-going weeks, weeks for planning the year to come. An on-ramp where we get up to speed. Soon we’ll be properly in the flow of traffic, soon we’ll really be on our way.”

Of course being on an international flight leaving the States December 31 of 2023 and arriving in Europe January 1 of the New Year, 2024…

Definitely feels like we're already on our way.

We’ll see how this plays out.

In the meantime…

Onward!

☺️

My grocery store checkout experience in a small German town earlier this week: the cashier is so fast that it could be an Olympic sport. Smart shoppers bring baskets because bagging things takes too long. My total will be 40 euros plus the psychic damage I took from fumbling with my card and holding up the line for five precious seconds

My grocery store checkout experience in a small local US grocery store just now: the cashier chats with me about our respective days while scanning items at a leisurely pace that makes me feel like a frantic squirrel in comparison. We have both learned something about each other's lives. My total will be 90 dollars
