Step 1: Tickets Booked

The time is 8pm, I'm sitting at Panera Bread at the Plaza in Kansas City and I have just ordered two tickets from Kansas City to Washington DC to Dublin, Ireland. I've been monitoring kayak, cheaptickets, expedia and orbitz for sometime now and this seems to be the cheapest route to Europe. Nathan and I will be leaving March 31, 2008. Gene will be a day behind us, leaving on April 1st. Hopefully we will somehow rendezvous a day later, or Gene will have pulled off one of the best April Fools pranks in history.
