12 Fevrier: infinite funds...or not

The last few days have proved to be difficult in planning our spring break trip. It's quite a challenge to combine the interests and preferences of seven very different people into one trip. Not everyone is going to be completely happy.However, we did finally settle, although we have chosen to split up for the ten days. Half are going to Prague, half are going to Rome. I'm going to Rome- very excited. One simple lesson learned though: travel is not cheap and although I already knew that, it was reinforced during our search. There are tricks to traveling inexpensively, however, a lot of it depends on sheer luck as well. Costs of flights change not only weekly, but daily. One moment you can find a cheap ticket from Rome to Toulouse, the next minute it's 100 euros more. It's a hard game to play and unless you have infinite funds, it's pretty frustrating as well.
