Is it really September?

Is it really September???

I don't think I would have realized it if I wasn't at work last night. I had to call a doctor for orders at 0130 and was a little bit sad when it was brought to my attention that it was September 1st.

I kind of wish it was August 32nd because I love love love Summer, but I must admit that Fall isn't so shabby and we still have a bit of summer left.

September though. Wow.

That means we're going traveling in four months. I keep saying we're going traveling next year, but next year is actually only four months away. Gah!

We haven't even looked into flights yet because, as I said, we aren't going traveling until next year. But next year is fast approaching and I'd better get on it! We are going to be looking into world tickets as we're going to South America, Scotland, and South East Asia (at least that's the loose plan... we are planning on doing a lot of it by the seat of our pants. We're cool like that). But it may be cheaper to just look for cheap flights to each place individually. Lots of research to do... it may be cheapest to go through a travel agency. It will definitely be easiest and will save us a lot of time.

I've never had to book overseas flights. Any suggestions?

I'm not going to lie, I did just get a little bit stressed out writing this. Four months!!

Really, suggestions re: flights would be much appreciated. And, if any of you have traveled to any of the places mentioned then let me know what your favourite places were.

  1. We were recommended to use www.cheapoair.com for our flights to SE asia and then www.agola.com for hotels. That's all I know for now:)

  2. Been to Scotland! Flying over seas seems to be an unavoidable expense... But you're going off season to Europe so that should help (as long as you avoid new years...)

    It will probably be cheaper for you to fly to London and then fly via Ryanair or easy jet to Glasgow. You need to book that in advance but they are super cheap flights (like under $100 return)

    Scotland is gorgeous. Highly suggest checking of Glasgow Uni and the Cathedral :)

  4. I agree with Louise that cheapoair is a good source for flights. I always look at several sites before booking -- travelocity, expedia, etc. And be sure to check .ca and .com, because sometimes you can get a better price by paying USD. Also worth checking into flying out of Seattle instead of YVR. My cousin was just in Scotland and I've heard Edinburgh is gorgeous!
