The Summer 'Fix'

Yesterday afternoon, I finally found it: The Airline Summer Sale, from Southwest Airlines, which will begin to fly to Newark. All other airlines' fares are hovering on the $500 - $600 range, so it was a welcome surprise to find fares from $99 and $129 range each way.  Of course, space is limited and the flights are on the "unpopular" time frames, but who cares. I got a round trip for $280.00, with the fees (By the way, what the hell is the Sept 11 Security fee?) so I thought it was a pretty sweet deal. But first, I needed to check with the office, just in case. I am pretty sure it would not be a problem, but I wanted to ask to be polite. I got the ok, and then got busy, and then we went to dinner last night at South Point, so I just said to myself that I would book the flights when I got home. Cut to: me crying because there were no more seats for those cheaply priced flights. I was quite upset last night, but resigned to the fact that maybe those were really not for me. I read that the sale was supposed to end last night. I went to sleep with tears in my eyes.  Then I woke up this morning pretty much accepted to the fact that I am not going. But then, I searched again, hoping against hope, and what do you know - there they were, the same exact CHEAP flights that I was looking at yesterday. I closed my eyes, and pressed "Purchase," and before you know it, I was sending out this email:


Hey Guys, Gals, Trannies and Hookahs !
