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.
Re: Going to make my friend's wedding!
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?

Now Nesting from Chicago, IL My nail blog:
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.

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.
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.
