Liars and Cheap Airfare

Whether or not you have been keeping up with the Casey Anthony murder trial, I have to say if you didn't see testimony yesterday you really missed out on some shocking testimony on the part of Casey's mother Cindy.
There was evidence that Casey did some computer searches on her home computer before her daughter ever died for "How to make Chloroform" Now you have to know that the prosecution's theory is that Casey used Chloroform on her daughter and duct taped her mouth and nose shut and put her in the trunk of her car. They actually found Chloroform in Casey's trunk. BUT, yesterday Cindy Anthony got on the stand (called by the defense) and said that it was SHE who did the computer searches for Chloroform. At some point the Anthony family has decided to start lying to try to keep Casey from getting the death penalty. Even today her brother Lee is lying on the stand, changing his story. HOWEVER, computer experts got on the stand right after Cindy and the prosecution solicited the information that Casey was logged into her MySpace within 20 seconds of the search for Chloroform being done. Today Lee is saying that the stains in the trunk that the prosecution believes were stains from decomposition, have been in the car the entire time he had the car. He never said that until today. I have to say that yesterday's testimony has been the best so far. It was initially shocking to hear Cindy Anthony testify that SHE made the searches on the computer and then to have the experts almost immediately prove her to be a liar.

In other news. Southwest airlines has been running a 40th anniversary sale on airfares through November travel dates for severely reduced rates. The sale was ending last night. I rechecked our travel dates and not only had our fares not gone down, the prices for our travel dates had gone UP. I was pissed that we weren't going to be able to get in on the cheap fares. But then I decided to get on the website and play around with our dates of travel to see if I could find the lower fares. Turns out the sale on fares did not apply to travel on Friday or Sunday. And our departure date was Friday and our return date was Sunday. I changed our departure day to leaving one day earlier, on Thursday and changed our return date to coming home one day sooner, on Saturday, and VIOLA!! It offered me the lower fares. Our fares went from $167 EACH WAY down to $80 each way. OVER HALF OFF!! I talked to my husband about it and we decided to go ahead and get the tickets now while the sale was going on. We saved $600 due to that sale. I am glad I read the Disney message boards or I wouldn't have even known about the sale on Southwest.com.

Darling husband is having second thoughts about wanting to go to Disney just because it is costing us so many thousands of dollars. It hurts his heart to put out half the price of the trip. I am trying to talk him into staying with our plan and still going with us because I really don't want to have to try to go to Disney by myself with 2 kids. Our plans now are for me and the 3 kids (my 2 and his 1) to fly down to Orlando while he is going to drive to Orlando. Mainly for 2 reasons. One is he doesn't want to fly and second is he doesn't want to be in the car with 3 kids for 12 hours, and frankly neither do I. But we want to have a car when we go to WDW so we can drive ourselves from park to park and get around without having to be dependent on Disney buses to get around. I know once we go he will have a good time and he will be glad he went. It's a once in a lifetime trip.
