thank heavens for the Swiss

Discovered on Friday that our flight reservation from Barcelona to Tangier had been cancelled -- not that the agency had told us, but I logged in to look up the flight times and numbers saw it on our itinerary. Oh. Great. Wil called them and the less-than-helpful staff said, "Oh, um, maybe the flight was sold out." (Which it wasn't, since anyone with a European credit card could still book them through Jet4You.)

So Wil went back to the drawing board and found a Swiss/Italian flight called Bravofly. Because they are able to process payments via Paypal (crazy!) we decided to give them ago. Oh, and they didn't add a huge fee on top of the flight cost, AND we were able to pay for our luggage in advance. Sure, it still took a day for them to confirm the ticketing info with Jet4You, but in the end we were able to book. Bravo, Bravofly.

Scary to see the countdown ticker show less than 3 weeks. Very very scary. Seems like lots and lots to do... but very little that we can do right now.
