TRIP History for 2014/2015/2016/2017

All of these trips are results of mistake fares or wanting to get out every few months, before Logan turns 2
Sometimes I don't even know why I travel so much, especially with children :-)  Certainly memorable

• April  - Italy <- mistake fare, $300/person to Italy (Florence, Venice, Milan). No regrets
• July - Atlanta, USA
• Sep - LA, Las Vegas USA
• Oct - Washington DC
• Dec - Taiwan

Another flight price error booked & honored, Toronto-Paris round-trip for $300 CAD/person

Friday Sep 18
AirCanada.com had a price error of missing the carrier surcharge (about $450/ticket) to their Europe destinations

It started about 1 pm, ended around 2 pm (lasted only 1 hour and so), but I managed to book YYZ-CDG round-trip, $1000 CAD for 4 of us, for March 2016 (it'll be 6-11C in Paris, oh well)
By the time I try to book for May 2016 ($50 extra per person), AC already fixed the error, but they came out same day on Twitter to say they'll honor the tickets

I can't believe it still happens, but this is price error #4 for us in the last 2 years already!!!
I don't need to plan any trips ahead now (besides the annual summer back to Taiwan), I'll just let price errors dictate where we will go in future. I need more vacation days!!

None of these destinations below were on my soon-to-visit lists, but I am glad to have visited Italy (loved it), Seoul (so-so), Turkey (so-so), Dubai, and finally, Paris!!!

• Wideroe - NYC-Milan Italy $300/person

Another trip completed, on a mistake fare/price error of Delta in 2014 May (I paid about $470/person for YYZ-*-ICN).

食 衣 住 行 育 樂

• 住宿
• 第一次用Airbnb 租到地鐵站附近 3房2衛的大廈 一晚$200 CAD 超級便宜 又有廚房 以後會繼續使用
• 首爾 
• 其實物價/買菜也不便宜 不過外食很方便又便宜
• 地鐵 真的很累 走來走去 還沒到景點就累了 很多沒電梯 推車超不方便
• 景點 還不錯看 不過就是那樣 宮殿寺廟 中國人比較不覺得特別吧 我覺得韓屋還蠻好完的(北村+南山)
• 消費Shopping 也沒啥好買的 最後兩天在eMart和梨大買的比較爽而已
• 台灣的部落客 都太誇大了 哈哈 很多景點餐廳 真的沒有那麼特別 (八色烤肉 陳元祖 第二美味紅豆湯 Beans Bins)  最後吃到好吃的 都是自己找local的 (崔大砲燒烤 豬腳)
• 搭飛機 
• 這次累到了 被Delta改了3次schedule 也認了 不過算免費停留Seattle玩一天
• YYZ-MSP-SEA-ICN很久 又碰到座椅扶手拿不起來 超慘 (Delta 不錯 有給我們一人$100彌補)
• 回程ICN-SEA最後一個報到 差點沒趕上 不過SEA-MSP志願改班機VDB 拿到了一個人$800 USD的折價券 明年歐洲有著落了(付了$500 CAD 拿回$900 USD/$1133 CAD)
