A Penny Saved...

I decided during the second week of January that I would like to attend a small conference in mid-March.

Since then, I have been diligently checking the price of plane tickets for this 3.5-hour plane ride.

On a whim, I had checked the price during the first week of January: $215.

Second week of January: $345.

Third week of January until yesterday: $507 (on weekdays); $1280 (on Saturdays).

I was beginning to consider not attending the conference (and forfeiting my $75 registration fee).

So, you can imagine how thrilled I was when I saw the price this morning: $345.

No, it's not as cheap as the $215 ticket, but it's still a far sight cheaper than $507. So, I bought the ticket.

And now, I am going to stop checking flight prices. Because if the ticket costs $215 tomorrow, I'll be kicking myself.

And that's just plain unpleasant.

ETA: I couldn't help it: I checked the flight price again today. But I'm not kicking myself at all: the ticket that I bought for $345 yesterday costs $450 today...
