We've reserved all 4 of our plane tickets now. Thank you to all who have donated, we truly appreciate it. Dallon and I will fly out of Portland on the Friday afternoon after Thanksgiving, then Chris and Jace will fly out to meet us on Monday December 1st. We were lucky enough to find some great deals on tickets. We are flying separately because of Chris' work schedule mostly--he'll be returning home on the 10th instead of the 13th of December also for work. we are flying into Columbus because the tickets were hundreds of dollars cheaper per person--so it means we need to stay in Columbus a few nights surrounding our arrival and departure dates. There are several decent but inexpensive hotels near the airport, and we will likely use priceline.com for a better deal.
A list of things we still need to pay for before training:
Hotel in Xenia: $1200
Rental car and fuel for 2 weeks: $800
Other expenses like food, shuttle fees to and from airport, and training supplies: $375
Hotel stays in Columbus: $450
Total: $2825
We started out thinking we needed to raise about $5000--with the good deals on flights and hotels we've gotten the cost down to about $4000 and we've raised enough for all 4 tickets and a about another $100! We've got about 1 month to go, and its sneeking up on us quickly because of the holidays.
Thanks again to everyone who has donated and helped us out in other ways--we are truly grateful!
