I know this is a bit childish, seeing that so many people have much worse probems than i do right now, but i just wanted to rant a bit.
I'm sad right now because i won't be able to travel with my bf to his city at the end of the year, because plane tickets became too expensive to me or to my mom to pay for. I was so excited to go, i wanted to meet his family and also know the city, which is one of the most beautiful of brazil, and i wanted to go also because i'd finally have a fun/exciting new year's eve celebration ( i usually don't like them because they're boring and i just want to sleep).
And i had my 1st wisdom tooth pulled today and it's hurting a lot I wanna cry
I know it's a bit silly , but still, i really wanted to go.
UPDATE (on September 6th) - for those of you who don't have the habit of reading the entire thread:
[SIZE=Default]Wednesday i was talking to mom about it , and she said: i have 4 tickets on the mileage program, you and your sister can go to Salvador (she won't let me travel alone with Bruno, i think), as long as Bruno's mom agrees to have you on her house!

Only in America...do drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.'
How far is it? Sometimes it costs less to drive if 2 or more people are going together.
The thing is, it's TOO distant The travel by plane is around 4 hours, and by car is 2-3 days of road. So, it isn't worthy, mostly because there's also the issue of our timeline being very restrict: from December 22nd to January 2nd (he HAS to be here at morning of 2nd because he has to work on the afternoon) for him and for me from december 26th to jan 2nd (because i want to spend christmas with my family).
I'm still thinking - maybe i could divide the payments of my trip; now a small pause so i can explain about that (i'm unsure if you have that on USA) - if you want to read, just click on the spoiler button
Here in Brazil, since a long time we have a type of payment called 'crediario' , where you split your payments of something onto smaller pieces, but without interest.
Like that - my plane ticket would cost 1.350 reais (which is 675 dollars, ouch) - depending on the company, i can split that payment to up to 10 months without interest (but i don't think they're offering that now) and i'll pay 135 reais each month.
We have that type of payment for practically EVERYTHING here, from clothes to TVs - and that's why a lot of poor people now have computers, tvs, dvds... It's a good thing if you can afford it, because you need to have a credit card in order to do that - the problem is when you can't pay your CC. A lot of big magazines offer their own CCs (that have less requirements than the bank ones) , so the person gets sometimes attached to that store.
Now, back to the topic
So, i'm still thinking - but it would be a lot of money. Okay, i'm gonna receive 380 reais each month until next year, but i was looking forward to save it so i could travel on the future to another place (i was thinking Buenos Aires - it's not expensive)... But then , if i stop and think, it's a good investment because going to Salvador is a nice trip as well
Anyways, today is a new day... And my tooth still hurts , but it' s a bit better. So i'm gonna put some sheeps so i can get happier
Lia, when there is a will to do it, there is always a way. I say don't cancel it out of your mind yet. I am familiar with the "paying in installments" that seem to be popular in Brazil. I admit, I was taken back that everytime the vendors offered that to me. I don't use that option, but I agree, it is kinda nice to have.
I believe you may be able to find a way. Perhaps, fly a part of the way over, and then take a night bus to complete the rest of the route, if that is an option.
