maybe the best deal i've ever found

i'm super excited to post this even thought i just said how much i hate packing and moving i have been itching to get on a plane and go somewhere.

i just love chelsea's blog and especially her travel posts. but this post (and a crummy morning at work) got me looking to see if i could find any great deals overseas. i have some friends in england, france, holland, prague and germany and since i didn't have any set dates i needed to stick to i just looked and looked and looked using various sites and airlines and dates and i found an amazing deal.

i could fly from los angeles to norway in november for $344. round trip. after taxes. non stop! i can barely fly from salt lake city to santa barbara for that much. anyway then from norway i can take norwegian, or easy jet or bmi to connect within europe. i'm super excited!

i should say that that wonderfully inexpensive ticket doesn't include any checked bags or meals, but still. i'm a pro at packing snacks and have a very large purse so i should be all set.
