Plane Ticket

I'm giving up on my travel agent that I have been trying to get to issue the ticket for the last two months. I was specifically trying to avoid having to wait until the last week or two to get the ticket so I started really early. He assured me I was confirmed and so I asked him to issue the ticket. Now it turns out that I'm not confirmed and I'm waiting for seats to open up. Forget it.

My friend Arvin found me a ticket that is about $500 more expensive but I can have it in hand in a day or two. It is well worth $500 to me to have peace of mind instead of continuing to go through the nightmare of getting a ticket from the other guy. Yay for Arvin!
