We have had a good weekend around here. Chad got up to go take his 3rd nursing test yesterday morning (and I got to sleep in! Woo hoo!) and he passed with an A. So he's almost halfway there with the tests. He has another one this Saturday, and then three more after that. He's doing great! Yesterday we also went running, did laundry, and raked the last of the leaves that have fallen into our yard.

Also, I spent a lot of yesterday researching plane ticket deals for our Hawaii trip (which explains the running--I'm trying to get in shape for our trip, plus fit into all the clothes I've grown out of). I need some advice from those of you who travel a lot. I have heard that there are better days of the week, and good times where you are a certain amount of time away from your trip, that it is better to buy tickets. Our trip is in mid-June, so when should I look for tickets? I had back luck yesterday because all of those flight-comparison websites had not updated their fares over the weekend and I kept trying to buy a fare that is apparently sold out. Anyway, if you have any advice about this, I'd love to hear it.

That's about it from here. More laundry this afternoon, and maybe a nap. Hope everyone has a great week!

I would give you advice on travel, but we NEVER get to go much of anywhere so I will spare you. I am glad you had a good weekend. Thanks for the birthday wishes.

I need more details on the Hawaii trip. I mean, I guess I could just call but could you blog it so I can just read it on Bloglines?

The best deals are when you leave on a weekday and return on a weekday...when we went to St. John, I checked the AA website ever single day to see what the fare was and eventually it went down, but only for a few days and then it started going up fast...I think each ticket was around $400 round trip and that was a good deal. Also not sure that time of day has anything to do with how cheap the flight is...maybe just day of week.?
