I am still counting down the days until our big move. As of today there are 66 days left. The more I say it in my head, the more i don't believe it. It seems surreal to me to think that in just 66 days I will be starting my life; in a different country non the less. And still so much to do... My last day of work is July 22nd, from then till roughly August 28th I will be selling and getting rid of most of our belongings! and we will then head down to Visalia California to my dad's until our flight on the 3rd of September...
... All I can say is: Bring It On! haha
On another note, I had my vacation time in June, in which i was able to enjoy a wonderful two week extravaganza! Spending a couple days in Vancouver Canada, B-E-A-utiful!, and then spend a week on the Disney Cruise Alaska! It was a very memorable experience, Thanks Dad!

Tickets
So M and I sat down last night and started browsing our ticket/airline options. He was reluctant to spend our money on them, because it had to come out of our savings. I told him not to worry our savings are there for the big move, and eventually we needed to purchase the tickets before prices go up. So after much site surfing we decided to go with Alaska Airlines, we didn't have too many options but Alaska definitely looked like a decent airline. I know 'looks can be decieving' and 'never read a book' by it's cover, but this is one thing that has me REALLY nervous. I have never been on a plane before..And in two weeks i will be taking a trip (riding a total of four planes; two by myself) with my dad, step mom, and three sisters.
One thing I don't care for with Alaska is that we have to pay for any checked luggage, they offer free first and second luggage if you go to/from Guadalajara or Mexico City but M said that doesn't pertain to the rest of the flights that go everywhere else in Mexico. And since everything we can carry will go into our checked luggage we may have a lot of bags...
On another note i am very cheap..I'm not a strict coupon shopper, but i do plan out the best price i can get, but who doesn't now adays? So i purchased the tickets directly from Alaska's website, looked through the site and found that if we left on a different day that we'd be paying around $150 less per person... I opted for the different date. Which now makes our flight day to September 3rd, instead of the originally planned September 6th. And means i spent only $500, so far, on our flight :)
