Ok, this is all such awesome advice. That’s a great idea about using miles for business class–never would have crossed my mind, and I have long legs! I’ll do some research and planning and check back in. I want to get the tickets by January (our anniversary), and then we can sit down and decide what we want to do. Y’all have given me some great ideas. Thank you!

excellent find, My kids have played on their Plasma cars for YEARS. What’s funny is they’re mostly older teens now and STILL sometimes goof off on them when their friends are all over. We have an unfinished basement and they would sneak Christmas lights out of storage boxes and drape the studs and make light “tunnels” for them to drive under. Great memories. Can’t recommend highly enough. (assuming it’s still high quality and hasn’t fallen victim to crappy manufacturing)

I disagree 100%. They change all the time depending on what cookies you have stored in your browser. You can prove it very easily by using two different browsers. For example, let’s say you’re using Firefox and you get a price change that looks suspicious like that. Just bring up the same site and search with IE or Chrome, and often you will see the original, cheaper price quoted. You can do the same thing by deleting cookies, but it can be tricky to pick the right ones to remove sometimes.

Travelocity does sneaky stuff all the time, and it seems like it started when they were bought by Expedia. I have clicked to book a hotel room and the room is suddenly not available at that price, and they tell me to search again or offer the room for a slightly (sometimes very) higher price. Just for kicks I will do the same search on a different browser and voila–the room is magically available again at the lower price!
