It all started three years ago! We've passed the official anniversary date of Jason's third year working for Southwest Airlines. At this point, it's getting hard to remember the life of confirmed seats and advanced planning.
This past year was definitely the year of family and friends. We were able to go to so many weddings and other important events for so very little. All in all, we saved over $7,500 last year - although it's pretty much a certainty that many of those trips couldn't have happened at all without SWA.
We've been so blessed with the ability and resources to travel. Thank you to everyone that has made this easier, especially our faithful crew of puppy watchers! We couldn't do it without you!
Here's where we've been able to travel during the past year:
