Today, Michael and I bought our tickets for Europe. With the recent spike in gas prices, we ended up paying a bit more than we originally planned on, but there will be no cutting corners on this trip. We chose to fly Virgin Atlantic on the recommendation of several friends and a few travel websites. And because of their absolutely awesome in-flight amenities, which include an open bar and individual on-demand entertainment, which will be sure to provide a distraction from the constant WC traffic, located 2 rows behind us.
Our itinerary:
Monday, 9 May 2011
WASHINGTON, DC (DULLES) --> LONDON, UK (HEATHROW)
Depart 6:40PM local time, Arrive 7:05AM local time
Wednesday, 29 June 2011
LONDON, UK --> WASHINGTON, DC
Depart 11:15AM local time, Arrive 2:30PM local time
For the math-impaired (myself included, see following story), that's a grand total of 51 days.
In other news, Michael and I were one click away from purchasing 2 round-trip tickets to Europe with a return date a full 7 days earlier than required. According to our rough travel log estimates, that would have put us somewhere in the Greek islands when we were supposed to be on a plane back to the US. Though there are worse places to be stranded than on the Mediterranean coast in the middle of June, it still would have been an unpleasant discovery. First major crisis: avoided.
