Early Sunday morning there were some crazy deals to Eastern Europe on Air Serbia. I tried booking a flight to Podgorica, Montenegro for a ridiculously cheap $227 per person. After entering our info, I sadly saw the message that the price was no longer available! I must’ve missed out on the deal by minutes as it wasn’t around for very long.

Lucas and I are heading off on our second Father- Son Trip. This will be Lucas’s 32nd country visited and sadly not a new one for me! 🙂  I’ll share more details about it in a future post.

After getting the confirmation e-mail for the JetBlue points match with Virgin America, I’ve been considering various flight options to earn my points. Do I make this a true mileage run (not really my thing) or attempt to make it into a short (few hours to a day) trip? Tough decision here…
