Super impressed, TripIt + Alaska Airlines + 2 minutes = $60.

Air

 

TripIt is far and above my favourite way to track my travel, and Alaska has a great policy for refunding airfare price drops – I may never hesitate to buy a ticket again!

This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.

Polonius to Laertes, Hamlet Act 1, scene 3, 78–82

As my friend Layne said, “2011 will be the year of awesome.” Things I want to work on this year:

1.) Reduce spending: cook at home more frequently and pack lunches, limit impulse purchases, use what I have. Conserve!

2.) Increase activity: bike to work more frequently, hit the gym, swing dance, hike and swim more.  Continue to lose weight (woop!).

3.) Create space for creativity: sew and dance!

And, last but not least, one I would like to challenge everyone to take on:
4.) Be a safer driver: No texting in the car! It’s not rocket science here, but it’s surprising to me how often my friends or I will glance away from the road for a silly text. It can wait. I hope you’ll take this one on with me, check this documentary AT&T made on texting and driving if you’re not convinced, I challenge you to watch it and not feel the same as I do.

(Sorry to be a downer, it’s a sad video but important!)

2011 will be AWESOME! Keep it that way – no texting while driving!
