BNA to LHR via Boston. Departs September 21. So that should be simple enough, right? Three airports, one airline. Same coming home in December for Christmas. Not a big deal.

However, to avoid paying an astronomically outrageous price for a one-way ticket I did a little shopping around. The trip back to London won't be nearly as much fun. Southwest was running some great specials and they now fly to New York. Perfect. Well, almost perfect; they fly to LaGuardia, which is not an international airport. But the ticket was too cheap to pass up so I booked a one-way to LGA. Then I found a great deal with IcelandAir on Priceline - $400. Awesome. Now my one-way back to Britain cost half what my round trip did.

What it takes to get to London in January: six airports, five cities, three countries, two airlines, and one cross-borough bus...is apparently what it will take to get me back to school.

In other traveling news, my friend Zach is pretty sure he's coming to visit. I get about six weeks off between second term and third and we think it's the perfect time to do a little gallivanting around western Europe. We've decided Germany is to be our prime target though he really wants to make a stop in Amsterdam (I think it's because pot is legal there). After a long phone conversation about things we've always wanted to do, Zach did a search on Bing...for, wait for it, "best concentration camps". Only because I know him so well do I know what he actually meant. Bing.com, I'm sure, was thinking "Go to hell". Despite his lack of cultural awareness and attempts at a British accent, I'm certain we'll have fun. In fact, I don't know if there is another person I'd consider spending an entire week in a foreign country with. So I think we'll 'Amazing Race' the hell out this trip.
