Discount airfare
Decisions have been made and the plans have all been confirmed. My daughter, Mary, is marrying Greg Anderson on Saturday, August 23, 2008. We are very excited about the wedding and are looking forward to the gathering of family and friends to share in our joy. We know that there are often some little details that still need to be attended to at the last minute but feel confident that most of our preparations have been addressed.
Now that wedding details have been arranged and a bridal shower is planned for Mary, it is time for the couple to begin preparing for their honeymoon. They are very fortunate in that they will be able to take two weeks vacation so that they can have a leisurely trip. They are planning to go to Europe, but only if their budget will allow. If not, the back-up plan is an island cruise.
Mary and Greg would really like to visit Italy as Greg even has some relatives living there who would gladly house them and show them around their beautiful country. It would be a wonderful experience and they are very much looking forward to it. Now comes the hard part, finding cheap international flights and reasonable lodgings for when they are not with Greg's family members.
Mary called an old friend of hers who is now a travel agent. Mary was able to be totally upfront and ask her immediately if she had any cheap international airfares available for the scheduled honeymoon dates. Katherine, the travel agent, did not have any cheap flights available for Italy at this time but will investigate and see what she can find. There are several months between now and August and, hopefully, something will become available. She reviewed all available discount airfare listed in her computer but was unable to find anything that would fit within Mary and Greg's budget. She was confident that a cheap international flights would eventually be listed and, when it is, she will immediately book seats for Mary and Greg.
It was only two weeks later that Katherine called with the good news. She was able to find cheap international airfares for exactly the days that Mary and Greg wanted to travel. They are so excited that they will finally get to visit Italy and have the opportunity for Mary to meet Greg's family overseas. Cheap flights are really a blessing for people with a tight budget.
