Well, the last few weeks have been a blur between work, going away for my anniversary, preparing to move my oldest daughter out of her apartment and preparing for my youngest daughter's high school graduation. I am exhausted! We've homeschooled Megan for 10 of twelve years and one of the highlights she was looking forward to was the graduation ceremony complete with cap and gown. However, we live in Virginia and the ceremony was taking place in Pensacola, Florida.

After returning from our trip on Monday, we realized there was no way we could drive the 14+ hours to Pensacola on Thursday to arrive for activities on Friday afternoon just to turn around and drive back Saturday afternoon to meet with clients on Sunday! Late Wednesday night I checked all the airlines and the discount websites. YIKES! The cheapest flight I could find was $1550 round trip! Finally I decided to check priceline.com and was shocked that they had this package deal: flight, hotel & car, for $560 per person! The catch is you don't know when your flight leaves, which airline, (Delta, yea!), or which hotel but we were desperate. We made the reservations and had to fly out of Roanoke at 8am on Thursday but we arrived in Pensacola around noon. We had to leave Pensacola this morning at 6am, but arrived in Roanoke around 1 pm so I was able to catch up with my clients (and catch a nap!)
I'm going to keep priceline.com in mind the next time I have a tight schedule and I'll suggest it to any clients who may be coming to Lynchburg for their home search. It really made my daughter's graduation that much more enjoyable. Way to go Megan; Congratulations Class of 2008!

Debbie, Congrat to your daughter! I'm glad you were able to figure your tight connections out. My husband is with an airline but I will have to remember priceline for my family. I always see Capt. Kirk advertising it (he will always be Capt. Kirk to me).
