The Wonders of Internet Airfare

I just found a round trip ticket between Newark and Los Angeles for this weekend, for $200. Last I checked (yesterday... heh), the same itinerary cost over $500.

I'm seriously contemplating taking a spontaneous cross-country trip.

Dude! Hahahah... I've you're out in LA let me know. We'll totally hang out. :)

oooh, I think I'm going! I only really have Sunday + parts of Saturday and Monday though, and I'm car-less. Where exactly in LA are you?

[adorkable37.livejournal.com]

Dude, I suck.. I'm car-less too but hey we can figure something out. I'm close to West LA. :) Where about are you staying?

[ziasudra.livejournal.com]

I'll be going to West Covina. Does that sound familiar?

[adorkable37.livejournal.com]

Hm. West Covina is east from me. About 30mins driving. Hm. Maybe I can figure something out so I can bug you. XD You think you'll be out towards Santa Monica at any point? You've been out here before?

Uh, mom, if you're reading this, can you answer? *waits*

I have no clue, personally. Although if we do meet up, I'd be happy to play courier should you have anything for xingou :)

Hhaha.. lol. Is okay. I was thinking maybe you'd want to get out and see Santa Monica with the Santa Monica Pier and 3rd Street with all the stores. Everyone like going there. And also to the Venice Circle with is maybe about 10-15mins away. :)

And oh yay. If we do get to meet up I'll definitely send you stuff for her. :)

We can pick your friend up or drop you off on Sunday afternoon. Or better yet, you can reunite with all your LA friends having dinner at home. You know your mom has a nickname called Valley girl, don't you? West LA is out of my reach. We have to count on Martin.

Go for it! It sounds like great fun. :)

[ziasudra.livejournal.com]

I am, booked my tickets and all. It'll be fun :D

Awesome! You can tour the strike zones. Wouldn't that be cool? "This weekend I flew to LA and hung out with David Duchovny and he said...":)

[ziasudra.livejournal.com]

That would be cool, though my mom's part of LA is a bit farther from the actual strike zone, I believe. I should keep an eye out for David Duchovny while I'm there. :D

Yep I hear the picket lines are full of hotties. :)
