In late June, I booked a direct, round-trip flight from Halifax to Amsterdam. As of the booking date, I had plans to spend a few days in Amsterdam, probably at the end of the trip, before returning to Halifax. I thought it would be convenient to be in my city of departure on the day I needed to fly home. However, my initial plan changed.

Soon after I returned from Spain, I began searching for my next trip. Even though I was glad to get back, once I started going through the images and videos captured in Spain, I realized that I wanted to book something else soon. There is a lot of joy in having something to look forward to, and with this trip scheduled for early September, it would give me a chance to pay for everything over time.
