Who was it? Did the Boy Scouts teach me to ... Be Prepared?
We noticed flights to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico dropped to $428. It requires a change of planes in Los Angeles but is, nevertheless, pretty quick. That's not a bad price considering it now costs $60 to fill up the tank on my ole Ranger.
We decided to scoop up tickets and a hotel for the week before Christmas. Thank you, Kayak, for alerting me. Thanks, Expedia, for letting us book a half year ahead.
