Manchester, Here I come!!
I did it! First stop, Manchester, United Kingdom. After searching ticket prices for about a month now, I finally found an amazing deal and couldn’t pass it up. At first I was looking to fly into London, but then quickly realized the tickets weren’t going to be any cheaper than $1200. So I started looking at other European cities to fly into. About a week ago I thought I hit the jackpot with a ticket into Copenhagen, Denmark for $590. Surely this was the cheapest ticket that I would come up with.
After pondering it all night I decided not to get the ticket and see if I could get something cheaper. As it turns out that was a great decision not to get the ticket, because just last night I found a ticket for $379.80 into Manchester, England. Once again I slept on it, but this time decided that I couldn’t let this one go. Landing on British soil 31 Mar 09, starting the first leg of my journey. Manchester, Here I come!!
