We booked our UK cottage for this summer last August, choosing the same one as last year. It's a National Trust cottage, and there was only one week available, plus we wanted to avoid the chaos surrounding the Olympics in August. We've paid for most of it already, so today I thought I'd take a look at airfares. Man, they are ugly. When DH and I were dating ( okay, it was 12 years ago) we regularly flew in the off season from Chicago to London for around $500. The best number I could find today for the week we need is (gasp) almost $1400. Each. DH went three times in 2011, mostly because his mom was ill, so we used lots of airmiles then. I'm going to have to find a way to earn and stretch more miles, though we have enough for one ticket still. Hmm--what to do?

Sometimes we scrimp and save to be able to afford luxury, the time away together will be well worth it; though I agree that those prices are scary. When we travelled to the UK in 94,95,96, the most we paid was around $450-$500.
