Off To Arizona and Super Bowl 49!

It's happening! I'm going to Arizona for the Super Bowl! I'm so excited and SO NERVOUS! My beloved Seahawks are back in SB49 and I'm determined to go this time! My dad and brother went last year, this year the whole family is making the trip! But we don't have tickets to the actual game yet. My parents fly down today so hopefully they'll have some time to figure something out!

Buying my airline ticket was a lesson in both being patient and not dawdling. I had the perfect, direct round trip flight from Seattle in my cart and was in the process of checking out. But I wanted to see if there was a way to use my my air miles and save some money. Unfortunately, that 15 minute delay caused me to lose the flight I was in the middle of purchasing. So frustrating! I decided to give it time, check prices every day until I found one that worked. I was pretty much out of luck on direct flights, but hopefully I could find something that didn't take all day.

Finally, a week later, I found a flight that was in my budget, but had a long travel time home through Denver. 5 and a half hour layover! Oh well, I'll bring stuff to entertain myself. It's worth it to go and for a price that's not unreasonable. And even if we don't get tickets to the game, we will have a great time just being in that environment with everyone else! Now if only they can pull off the repeat!

As Russell Wilson always says, "Go Hawks!"
