Travel Summer 2015, ideas
Using kayak.com explore to pick out my flights. I have a small story, when I flew to New Orleans from upper michigan this December I offered up my seat on a booked flight for a little over $1,500. The Ohio State Buckeye fans did not want to miss the Allstate Sugarbowl. It was a little luck and a lot of recognizing opportunity. As soon as I heard the amount I ran to give up my seat. I pulled in to Detroit late from Michigan, with no assigned seat to New Orleans.
Short narrative: The cool Detroit air filled my nose as I got off the plane. Late to my gate I could feel perspiration on my back as I jogged to my gate. I looked up in dear feeling anxious as I noticed a lobby/gate filled with red and silver. People angry and impatient waiting to get to New Orleans for the big game. Calmly I walked to the gate and asked if I had a seat. The delta flight agent printed a ticket and handed it to me. Soon after I sat down I heard the loud voice of an African female shout over a crowd "Ok! I am still looking for one volunteer to give up their seat and arrive in New Orleans later this afternoon. I am offering $1,600 in flight voucher!" I looked around surveying the field, got up before I could think and handed her the slip of paper with my seat assignment. It is fun to be in the moment.
Needless to say, I'm looking to use under $1,000 of the money to travel for part of the month of May. I am a little nervous to visit some parts of Europe but think it would be a good experience. I also think that South America/ Brasil would be a good opportunity to build on my travel knowledge.
Where I am at so far:
