Just Call Me Rick Steves!!

That's right folks I'm jet setting across the Atlantic yet again. In less than one month I will be going to London, Berlin, Prague, and Munich. Thankfully I have already paid for my places to stay in London, Berlin, and Munich and I put a down payment on the condo in Prague. I still have to buy my plane tickets, rail pass, and get together some spending money. So somehow I have to come up with about $2k before I leave and I need to have the $700-900 for the plane tickets by Tuesday (only a measly 1/2 of that is in my savings account). I've been told that ticket prices are much cheaper if you purchase them on Tuesdays. I priced the tickets today and they were $944. I checked them about a month ago and they were $744. Needless to say I'm freaking just a bit. I pray to God that on Tuesday the price is back down to $744.

I kind of lost track of time while I've been making bigger payments to pay my loans, which is a good thing. I haven't been squandering my money except to go out to eat (see previous post). As of now I am not going to go out to eat until I leave for the trip. I need to save as much money as possible for the next three weeks. Until I get this money in order I won't be able to really be super excited about this trip of a lifetime. When I leave I want to be worry and debt free!
