OK. Just had a panic attack. I don't think I've ever had one before. I have panicked, but this time I couldn't breathe, my chest hurt, I was seeing spots, I couldn't stop crying.
On top of all the emotion today I go to do my daily flight price check, flights there went up a few grand over night. I've been watching since we knew our new date and they just keep going up. Only one option is under 1500 - this is for just one of ticket to Russia, nothing within or home. The other options were about 2200- until today. We are looking at an average of 3300 and Expedia's lowest cost was now 7900! That would be just under 16 grand for us to just get there. That would make this near impossible.
This has to work out. It has to.
We need our visas so we can book before we go broke. I need to know we will be OK. I just can't imagine what I would think if this doesn't work.
BIG sigh.
A short time later...
The power of the blog works. Cousin L read this post and messaged me about how these online travel sites store your history and up the prices each time. I was my own worst enemy there for checking everyday. I cleared my history and suddenly Expedia was about 6 grand cheaper. HUGE relief. Thank you! So, we are still more than last december but more likely to not blow the budget I made two weeks ago. I think I will sleep better tonight now.
OK visas, you better come next week so I can put this part behind me!
