Budget Vacation around the USA

A and I are planning to go back to India in June But, before that we are planning a 3 week vacation around the country that we have come to love during the past 3 years. We plan to visit Key West and West Coast for a total of 3 weeks in June. ( I know its going to be HOT there, but hey - we are going to India right in the middle of Summer, so we might as well get prepared).

Anyways - our budget is going to be small. So we have been scouring the web for deals and ideas on how to make this trip less heavy on our wallet.

While looking for Travel Credit Cards that would give us free points, I came upon Jet Blue site from the American Express Travel and man, did that make me happy. A multi trip air ticket from EWR- TAMPA - SFO - San Diego - JFK is coming to $ 500 per person. Yes, you read that right, $1000 for both of us. Ain't that awesome?

Now bac to scouting for couches to sleep on ....

UPDATE: Delta has the same tickets and better airports @$432pp.

The forbidden fruit

A and I have started a new pact : to write a 100 word blog that is based loosely on the "word of the day" word. Today's word is
verboten \ver-BOHT-n\ , adjective;
1.
Forbidden, as by law; prohibited.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To stand on a friend’s shoulder to march ahead while pushing him down; it’s a forbidden fruit.
To express anger towards an elder even when the elder is at fault; it’s a forbidden fruit.
To escape from reality when the world’s responsibility weights down on you; it’s a forbidden fruit.
To think about taking your own life after the loss of a loved one; it’s a forbidden fruit.
To leave everyone who loves you for someone only you love; it’s a forbidden fruit.
To desire someone unattainable; it’s a forbidden fruit.
Don’t you sometimes want a bite of the forbidden fruit?
