The King has been trying for months to rearrange the flights for our upcoming European Vacation.  Yesterday some flights opened up and we were able to get better flights.  When traveling with a toddler “better flights” constitutes “at night” and “direct”.  (Let’s not talk about the fact that this little ticket change cost us enough [...]
