Ready for Takeoff !!

$1012 spent, confirmation number received, vacation booked.

Air Transat (yes, I do realize that charter flights suck, but I am all about saving $600) and I leave Calgary on August 25th for TWO weeks! Oh my god... I am so pumped! my Birthday in Europe yaaaaaaaaaa! This is so gonna be my first real vacation since Mexico a couple years back, and the first time I cross the Atlantic Ocean (I crossed the Pacific to Asia about 7 years ago)...about freakin' time! Man, I really needed this, especially with everyone going to Turkey and etc. (see my depressing blog post below) I will have my own little adventure!

K, so this wasn't done without any drama...First off, my vacation days from work were in limbo as they wanted to put me on a project. I really didn't see the point as all I wanted was 4 days at the end of the month and at the end of my term, would it have really made such a big deal in the end?!?!? Seeing as I am just a summer student, no. I actually still don't know if I have jeopardized anything, but my coach said to book my ticket so I did :P Today, I was on the Flight Centre website and I think the stupid Microsoft pop-up blocker screwed things up and refreshed the page, thus I apparently booked my flight twice ...whoops, called their IT people and got one of two tickets cancelled ... hopefully I don't see two credit card charges or else I will have a heart-attack
