In the wee hours of the morn, I phoned the Alaska Airlines Reservation Desk for the fourth time in an attempt to use Darr's airline miles. And just when we thought it wasn't going to work out - success!
Not only did June, the woman at the other end of the phone, find us a flight in the month we were hoping to travel (i.e., September) she also got us the first class seats we were looking for! Okay, so we didn't make it to our original destination, Auckland, New Zealand - and that is a shame as it would have been cool to tour Middle Earth - she did get us to Prague and Italy. Woohoo!
Our circuitous route begins at PDX. From Portland we travel to Seattle to catch our flight with British Airways, the Alaska Airlines Miles Partner who was kind enough to offer up two (count 'em - two!) first class seats to Prague via London. It is our responsibility to get our butts to Milan in time to catch our flight home on the 24th of September. I figure we'll spend a week in Prague, catch a train to somewhere (Switzerland? Austria?), and spend the last four days in Milan - shopping, eating, sightseeing etc.
Now the search for hotels begins...
