Damn You Bill Shatner!

What happened to the golden age of internet travel?! I suppose the same thing that happened to the golden age of the internet in general, but dayum did Priceline give me a scare this week. (I know, I shouldn't blame old James T., but when you're the face of a company I'm sure a lot of misplaced anger is hurled your way).

Anyway, after being told repeatedly over the course of a week or so that certain flights were available at certain prices, I was consistantly met with "we're sorry, air fares change by the minute and sometimes we don't have the best fare info" messages upon furnishing my credit card digits. Screw you! About $100 north of my best offer (determined by the entire contents of my checking account), Priceline finally hooked me up with a flight to Colorado. From Boston, of course.

Does this mean another week of emptiness here? Hopefully not, as I've managed to secure a new laptop for the trip, but we'll see. Enjoy the weekend, I'll be in the mountains.

    Bil, not to get picky but “Priceline finally hooked me up with a flight to Colorado. From Boston, of course.” should have read:

    “Priceline finally hooked me up with a flight to Colorado. From Boston,(Home of the World Champion, AL East leading Boston Red Sox) of course.”

    There.
