flights

My girlfriends and I have been working frantically all week on our finals preparation and on our group economics project. Our finals are all different since we are in different majors so none of those really match up except our economics final which we all feel really confident about. What we have been working on together is the general education project we had to do for that class. We had to choose a side of the economy and answer a question that we come up with on our own. We decided to answer the question of if the recent economic situation has effected the markets for cheap international flights and domestic discount airfares. We chose this because we could all knock out two things we need to get done at once. We have all decided that we want to go on a vacation together this summer. We knew that we wanted to go somewhere abroad and go backpacking. So we figured we could use this as a means to actually do some research for cheap international flights. We also wanted to compare any changes that these two markets may have suffered over the past few months, so that maybe if we can find some great discount flights domestically then we would consider staying national. So we have successfully planned a trip to France using our research data of cheap flights and have also completed our project a whole week in advance of the due date. Now all we have to do is finish classes next week and do great on our finals and we are off to France. We will be doing a ton of backpacking all over the country. We didn't just keep our research focused on the cheap flights, but we also found hotels all over the country where we are going to just stop off throughout our trip. We all know that we want to keep moving at all times and not stop in any one place for too long. We also know that we want nothing to do with any other mechanical transportation other than the two flights there and back. We are going totally rugged on this one.
