Last night, I started considering some personal travel to Phoenix in March. Nothing else was firmly on the agenda at the time. This afternoon, however, things flipped around on me.
First, my father called to let me know my grandmother's health had taken a dive. She only has 5-10 days to live according to the doctors. He's traveling there on Friday to see her before she passes. I'm just glad I decided to take the kids out there in November, so that they were able to see her one last time. Anyway, if the doctors are correct, then there's some additional near-term non-cheap travel.
Not five minutes after my father called, I was notified of a likely work-related trip to South Dakota in March. If it happens the way it was briefed to me, I could be landing in OKC from Phoenix one day, and getting back on a plane for South Dakota the next.
So I spent most of this evening booking travel. I feel like a travel agent. My dad isn't good at the online thing, I so I did the ticket shopping for him and his family. It took a few hours to get everything arranged, and then I bought my personal tickets for March (because the price had already gone up $80 in 24 hours).
Turned out to be a much busier day than I had imagined this morning. But it's not like anything was gradual. Who turned the spigot to full blast?
