Have You Seen the Price of Airline Tickets?

For years, everyone has made light of both my mother and me being incredibly early for everything. Appointments, family gatherings, work, school  - you name it and we were never late. Needless to say, some found it amusing that I was planning this second trip to Europe with my mom so soon. I started looking for airline tickets before the horrid Boston winter and the depressing California rains - securing our flights in November. Today, just for the hell of it, I priced the same itineary and discovered that each ticket was $674 more per person. Though I would have paid it for this trip with her, it would have put a serious dent in the amount of gelato we could afford to eat and worst of all, it would have seriously affected my wine consumption.
