3 days and I'm still living out of my bags!

After all the effort that went into packing up my uni room - okay, slight exaggeration there - and shoving/throwing it all into the back of my dad's car, I haven't really unpacked anything. I've decided that I don't mind living out of these bags until I have to pack to Latvia. I mean, what's the point in unpacking it all when most of it will end up being transferred into a suitcase? Well, that's my justification for my sheer and utter laziness anyway! Good news. I've booked my flights for my Latvian adventure beginning in under a month's time now. I must admit that it wasn't easy. Every now and then I started stressing out a bit when trying to find the "right" flights for me, especially as a first time flyer (excluding the 1 hour trip to Glasgow). So many thoughts were going through my mind as 20 different airline sites stared me in the face:

"I have to find cheap flights!"

"I can actually use travelsupermarket.com for once"

"Gosh, where would I be without the internet and Google for that matter?!"

"Okay... why are these flights so cheap? Must be dodgy." 

"I wonder what the seats look like on their planes..."

*Google's images of seats for one airline* "Mum, they look so unsafe!" 

And when I'd asked every question going, probably the most important one came to mind... 

"What on earth is baggage allowance?"

Yep, definitely over my 20kg allowance.

Taking a strategic approach and looking at both the financial and quality sides of the airline, I eventually bought what I think are the perfect tickets. Going abroad for my internship is definitely starting to feel more real, like it's actually happening! This is probably because I've had to spend a wad of cash from my tender student budget, but it had to be done.

Another victory dance is in order I think. JD, you are my hero!
