Getting the Family Together

Written by

I’m flying to Omaha on Friday afternoon, then driving north towards Sioux City. From there I’ll head east to Le Mars, and check in to a hotel. I’m pretty sure this is the first time that I’ve taken care of all my travel plans for a family get together in Iowa by myself.

Normally I would fly to Des Moines and get picked up by one of my parents. I’d ride with them to the get together and stay in a hotel room that they had reserved.

This time I booked a cheap flight to Omaha, reserved a car at the Omaha airport, and booked two nights at the hotel by myself. For a normal trip this is nothing new, especially a work trip, but for a family trip this is fairly new.

I’m using Kayak to manage my travel plans. It’s great.
