First SNAFU

I received an email last night from Orbitz, where I had booked my flight up to Anchorage. Trying to save a day of vacation, I chose to pay a little bit extra (I needed to spend at least $500, to receive that much of a discount off of the bike) so I could get there early and finish the deal on the Ultra. It seems that Alaska Airlines may be looking to get a little more money for that ticket than I paid. Orbitz told me that the flight from Seattle to Anchorage had been cancelled. I know they are liars. The Internet told me so.

Anyway, I ended up getting a cheaper ticket leaving the night before my original departure date. Maybe a blessing in disguise, since I should have no problems closing the deal in time, now, and start on the road back home as planned. I am even more psyched now!
