Got my ticket

Yesterday I booked my plane ticket to Venice ... for a whopping $1,300!!! Can you believe it? It's really shocking how expensive tickets to Europe are. The main reason this one is so expensive is that I booked a nonstop flight. But even the flights with a stop were going for $900-$1,000. For most of those flights, the layover was in Paris, but only 1 hour ... and you had to change both planes and airlines. I was worried that I wouldn't have time to make it through customs, much less my bags arriving with me. So I'm coughing up the big bucks to get there. At least I am saving money on housing. The airfare costs more than the tuition plus room and board!
