I ought to be committed
So I did. I committed myself to some travel dates for Anthrocon. I know I already missed out on the very cheapest tickets, and I had to make a decision before I missed out on others. Even so, I had to put my departure from Australia one day earlier from Saturday to Friday in order to save $662. I will probably lose a day's pay because of that, but I more than make up for it in the price difference. It's going to be a tad awkward arriving on Friday instead of the weekend, but I'll get around that.
In the meantime, I now have to pay off the cost of the flights. I have already received some financial assistance, for which I am deeply grateful, but I still have quite a bit to go, and I haven't even touched the interstate flights yet. Fortunately I can put those off for a while yet. For now, I am committed to arrive in the States on Friday June 28 and leaving again on Thursday July 11.
