I am now only 1 Rapid Reward credit away from a free flight. I totally forgot about a promo they did where if you were able to get someone to sign up for Rapid Rewards you could earn credits. I had one person sign up and I earned a half credit. I was surprised when I logged into my account and noticed the 1.5 went down to 1.

After my trip to San Diego I’ll actually have enough for my next free flight. I rented a car using Rapid Rewards and will be earning a few credits. Of course now I just need to think about where I want to go. I know a Disney trip is planned next year for a friends birthday. I could always use it for that or hold into it for another California trip or even Vegas.

Where would you go with a free Southwest flight?

In a month I’ll be heading out to San Diego! I can’t believe it. I still feel like I have a ton of stuff to take care of before I leave. I still need to buy an extra battery for my camera, some comfy shoes, figure out what bags to bring and how I’m going to pack everything and a ton of other stuff. Comic Con isn’t even here yet and I already feel overwhelmed! As a first timer I’m sure this is pretty normal. I mean, I have all the important stuff taken care of and that’s what matters really. I’ve had the passes and hotel room booked for months, and I do mean months. I booked the rental car last week and prepaid for parking which helped save some money.

The panic will really set in once I know all the information for my shows that I want to see. I know who’s going to be there but no idea on what days, time or rooms yet. It seems like information is coming out slowly though. I know “Big Bang Theory” is on Friday but that’s about it for the stuff I care about. I have a feeling most of my shows will be on Thursday. Hopefully all in the same room and one after another. I don’t want to have to choose between shows. That would make me sad, very sad.

I’m so excited. I really can’t wait!

There are only 42 days left until I head out to San Diego for Comic Con. I’m getting really excited! I’m a little nervous too as this will be my longest flight to date. I’ll be fine on the way to San Diego since I have a Chicago layover and a friend will be joining me at that point but on the way back it’s non-stop and just little ole me! I’ll have to bring a good book or two to help kill some inflight time.

One reason that I’m getting even more excited is the fact that panel information is starting to be released. It turns out a crapload of shows I love will be there including Dexter, Big Bang Theory, Burn Notice, Psych & Bones plus a ton of others. You can see a list here. Just remember that panels/times/rooms can change at anytime, even during the event itself. I just hope my shows are either on different days or all in the same room. I really don’t want to have to choose between my TV loves!

I’m surprised at how fast time has seemed to fly by surrounding Comic Con. I seriously feel like it was just yesterday when I was talking about it with my friends and buying the tickets. The reality is it’s been months! I think it helps that I’ve actually been busy for once and haven’t had the time to sit down and mark days off the calendar if you will. I’ve had a wedding, a weekend trip to Chicago, baseball games and other “summer” activites.

Even though San Diego will be a long trip just because of all the events, I’m still looking really forward to a vacation!

I can’t believe San Diego Comic Con is just around the corner. In just 50 days I’ll be heading out to the West Coast. I’m not only excited about Comic Con but I’m excited to be visiting San Diego. It’s on my list of places I’d like to visit. I’m a little nervous too as this will be my 1st cross country flight. The way to San Diego shouldn’t be too bad as I’m meeting my friend in Chicago and she’ll be on my flight but on the way back it’ll be just me. I’ll have to remember to bring a good book or two for the return flight!

I’ve already started checking out what else I want to do while out there. I know I want to check out The San Diego Zoo and The Whaley House. As far as food I have no idea what’s the “must see” place to visit. If anyone has any suggestions let me know!

I really can’t wait. I know as more information is released for Comic Con, like what movies/shows will be there, I’ll get even more excited!
