Musings on travel

This has mostly been fun. Watching the games and getting to know teams I knew little about is fun. Caring about who wins, even though my two favorite teams (Jays, Phils) aren't in it is fun. Talking to dad every couple of days about the games has been fun. Buying tickets on Stubhub, picking sections and seats for games has been fun. Researching hotels/tours/restaurants on Tripadvisor for cities I've never been to has been fun.

Know what's NOT fun? Stressing over flights. Literally losing sleep over them. We have to leave Thuesday and still not sure where we're going. Every day almost prices go up and seat selection goes down. Milwaukee is especially bad - best we can do now would be a slightly expensive three-hopper from Bangor. Ug. And we won't know for SURE until at tomorrow night at the EARLIEST, and Monday night midnight if it goes seven games.

I felt the need to gamble a bit again. I can still get flights to St. Louis for a very reasonable cost, and flights that are actually convenient. Can't sit together on all flights but I guess that's not too big of a deal. Booking St. Louis arriving Tuesday, leaving Saturday. I don't want to risk flying day of game 1 in case of flight problems, and want to stay the extra day in case of rain delayed game, and to have one more no-flying day in St. Louis.

If the Brewers stage a major comeback (certainly possible given their home field dominance this year) it's going to be tricky to get there, but we'll find a way.

Fingers croseed. But NOT "cheering" for the Cardinals. Yeah, that's right, really I'm not... :)
