A lady in our church home group tonight seemed so sad when she told us that she is taking a long weekend in Floriday this weekend (over Mother's Day), has rented a place for 6 people, and it turns out she'll be going all alone. She doesn't want to cancel because she really needs a vacation and already has the time off, etc, but she's a divorced grandmother and her son doesn't spend all that much time with her, seems her sisters and friends all ended up not being able to join her after all...
I got to thinking, I'd go with her in a heartbeat! Why not? When do I ever get to go anywhere! She was ALL OVER IT and practically leaping for me to come with her. But I can't leave here till late Friday and I have to be back by early morning Monday beacuse Eric cannot miss work (we go to the beach for a week May 20)... so for that short of time I'd have to fly to make it worth it.
What's my best bet at getting a great last minute deal on a flight? Online websites? Or calling the airline and haggling with them, do they even DO that? Because I'm not above doing that! Any ideas are WELCOME... I need a flight and a rental car... her place is in St. Augustine and the nearest airport I can tell is in Jacksonville, just under an hour away. But it's not like money is exactly "no option"... Eric says the expense will make up for the years I didn't get anything for Mother's Day.  She's driving down Friday morning and back Monday sometime but I can't ride with her, I just can't stay that long.
Any ideas APPRECIATED!!
