Taking chances

Well, we were some of the ones that took a chance on the low-fare offerings of SkyBus and now two trips we had planned have been uprooted by their announcement to go out of business this weekend. We have already re booked one of the trips for a whopping $745!! That is just insane!!! But, it is for my Grandmother's 90th birthday, and a chance to get together with all our family, so couldn't miss it. And we decided to forgo our trip to Chicago. It is a city we both want to visit, but will hold off doing so for another day. Figure we can put the money we would have to spend on re booking those flights and getting a hotel, etc on our beach trip this fall. At least we did have time to make other arrangements, and we knew going in that we were taking a chance. Everyone was wondering how they were able to offer such low fares, but now we know.....because they can't!
