No Vegas, Baby?

I have been desperately searching for reasonable airfare so that my sisters (2) and I can get away and go to Vegas at the end of March. We go every year about this time, and then again in the fall. When I quit work, I vowed that I, or rather my husband, would find a way for me to keep this extremely important schedule. What I didn't count on was airfares skyrocketing. I mean, what's up with that anyway? I can't blame it on the price of gas because wasn't gas this expensive this time last year?

I don't know WHAT I am going to do if I don't get to go. We are taking the girls to Disney at the beginning of March, so I am going to need a vacation after that "vacation". Everyone knows that vacation is never truly vacation for the mother. I know you are thinking, "Hmmm, this girl is crying poor but she's taking her kids to Disney?"

I'm only going because my sis hooked me up with a free room and free park-hopper passes. I couldn't pass it up, even though at 4 and 3, I think the girls are still too young to go.

I have to go to Vegas. I have to. It is my goddamned oasis in the desert, literally and figuratively.

I'm going to go cry now.

Hey! I don't know if this helps or not, but when I have the baby I have to get my mom out here from the west coast STAT, and I think we're going to use this website called "last minute travel." (I don't like typing websites into comments because I worry about generating weird spam, but their address is www dot lastminutetravel dot com). You may be able to get a good deal on there if you're willing to wait for the last minute.
I totally sympathize with having your vacation cancelled because of ridiculously high airfare prices. It's such a rip off!
