Air Monopoly

I took a break from running today. I have a hunch that tomorrow I will be doing some grueling hill trail training. So I decided I’ll keep myself rested and not run today. This will also give me a chance to catch up on on the little chores that seem to be hogging all my time.
A big chunk of time was used reserving an airline ticket. Now I hate Air Canada as much as the next person, but they are the only airline that goes to Jamaica within my financial realm. I have a reservation at a resort in November that I still needed to get the flight for. I’ve been watching the prices stay at too high a level, until today, when I saw Air Canada was having a seat sale indirectly to the destination I want.
I tried to get to a travel agent after work, but they all close up before I have a chance to get to them. So I struggled through the web interface to get my ticket. Strangely, their site doesn’t support Safari, so I had to use a two year old version of IE. That was painful.
But now I have my ticket. Edmonton, Toronto, Montego Bay and back again. I’m in Toronto for four hours on the way there, but that is at the crack of dawn, so it won’t be that good for sightseeing.
