Going to make my friend's wedding!

I just felt too bad to ditch my really good friend and once my boss said yes, it was just a question of money.  So I really tried to think of where I could get free miles or find some old ones or something.  My friend mentioned some deal where if I opened up a credit card on some airline I could get lots of miles.  I didn't want to do that, but it reminded me to check on FF miles that I have (I once signed up for various US ones but haven't used them in years and so had no idea how many miles I had as they are sent to an email I can't check anymore).  She also noticed that prices had dropped sharply from Friday night to Saturday morning.

I ended up using FF miles to get to Costa Rica and it was actually cheaper to get a business class seat!  So it cost 20 dollars to get there in business class and 200 to get back on another airline.  Since the hotel includes breakfast and the hosts are providing dinner most nights, I hardly have to worry about food.

I think I can do the whole trip for under 500 bucks!  We'll have to scrimp and save to make it up elsewhere, but I feel much better about the whole situation.

  • I'm glad it worked out. FF miles are awesome and so useful.

  • Great! That sounds much better than the $1500 it looked like you would have to spend.

    ps - Although this might be placing myself in drama I'd rather stay out of, have you thought about apologizing to Snippy? Your response on FFFC was pretty out of line.

  • Glad you feel better about this situation.  I can't believe you seriously posted this though.  That's the only reason I opened this thread.  How do you feel about the situation here yesterday when you brought up personal info snippy told us and tried to use it against her?

    Seriously... I don't know how you get up the next day and continue to post as if nothing ever happened.

    Now Nesting from Chicago, IL My nail blog:
  • As someone who has been here forever, I'm totally disgusted.  I've had issues in the past with Snippy, but we talked and got through it.  No one has ever done anything so disgusting on this board before, and you ought to be ashamed of yourself.  Even if you don't like another person or you disagree with what they post, you ought not do such things.  I am hoping that you get removed from the Nest by our moderator or that you choose not to post here any longer as I don't believe most of us feel that you are welcome.  So bugger off.

  • I was going to say something along the lines of what UKyankee put out there, but she's far more eloquent than I am. In short, glad you're going to the wedding...but honestly, after yesterday's childish debacle, I have no idea how you can come back here and post. The stunt you pulled was downright cruel and shameful, and people here have long memories for this type of crap. You posted yesterday that you were going to take a break from here. That's probably a really good idea...you need to take a steps back, re-examine some things about yourself, and maybe start fresh after awhile. Speaking for myself only, I'm not really interested in anything you have to say at the moment.

  • Good for you?

    If I were in your position, I'd apologize to Snippy and haul asz away from this board as fast as possible. There's absolutely NO reason to bring personal information like that on TN, let alone throw it in her face in a b!tchy manner. WTF are you thinking?

  • Well I guess everything worked out for you then. But honestly I?m pretty miffed that you?ve decided to come and post about this and completely ignore all the comments that have been directed at you after you said some hateful and very inappropriate things about Snippy. I feel like you owe not only Snippy an apology, but the board too for behaving like a five-year-old.

  • Jetur: I think there is something seriously wrong with you if you are not aware of what you did to Snippy yesterday. I hope you have the decency to apologize to her and really consider getting help. It seems that you are under a lot of stress with all of the changes in your life and you are taking it out on other people.

  •  I don't even care that you are going to the wedding or if your wedding was a DW or not.  

    I do care that you were a horrible bittch to Snippy.  I think you need to go to Etiquette right now and write her an apology, not that can undo what you did, but it's a start.  

     I wouldn't come back here either as I don't think many of us want to talk to you or your H any time soon.

  • You've got some nerve still posting on this board. That's all I've got to say about that.

  • If this post doesn't show what a self centered snot you are Jetur then I don't know what would. You are either blind to what you have done, laughing at what you think is a joke (ps, no one else finds it funny) or you are truly a nasty person.

  • Do you really think it's OK to post as if nothing happened? You were out of line yesterday and you clearly have some issues you need to deal with.

  • In case you didn't get it from the previous posts - DO NOT POST HERE ANYMORE. What you did this weekend to Snippy was totally unacceptable by any standard.

    Can't say it any better than this. In the context of what has happened in the last day or two, this is the weirdest post I've ever seen on IN.

  • I'm shocked you had the audacity to come back and post as if nothing happened.  I echo PPs who think you owe snippy an apology and that most of us don't want to see you on this board anymore. You are ridiculous.

  • Wow! I have no words for how rude you were to snippy and how you can just pretend it didn't happen. I can't imagine even trying to say such hurtful things to someone. You definitely owe her an apology.
