booking online

I am a newby when it comes to booking online. I do my banking and other general stuff but even when I bought my cute and fancy gumboots from the one and only time I have used eBay beautiful Jen Jen did it for me. So I had researched the plane flights to Cairns and Mildura. Found the ones that I wanted. The times were good and the prices were even better - cheap. I gave myself an hour in the morning to go to the library and book the tickets. I don't do anything concerning money from home as I don't have security on my computers. I booked the return trip for Rodger to Mildura. That went OK but it was lucky I booked when I did as there were only two seats left on the plane at the time we wanted. That went without a hitch but I was nervous about committing and saying buy. What if I had made a mistake. I then moved onto the bigger flights. The ones to Cairns. I double checked the times and dates put in my details then it asked me to pay for the ticket. This can't be right. What about Rodgers details. I asked Andrea if this was right. She has done a lot of traveling. She came and had a look. Oh she said, it has defaulted to one passenger. Back to the start. Made sure it was for two passengers went through the whole application then noticed that i had clicked on the Monday instead of the Tuesday. I'm going to have a heart attack at this rate so it was back to the start again. Tuesday up Monday back. Right dates got it all right this time. Finally. Buy. Put in credit card details, a SMS will be sent to your mobile phone from your bank. WHAT! But I don't have my phone on me. I had five minutes left on the computer. I'll be back in a few minutes I told the girls. I jumped in the car raced down the hill grabbed my phone from where it was plugged in by the bed raced back to the library, put the SMS code in. You will need to get a new SMS code from your bank. I pressed get SMS code again. My phone beeped. That code didn't work. You will need to get another SMS code from your bank. Third time lucky?  No. Your attempt to buy tickets has been unsuccessful. It was now 11 o'clock and too late for me to try again.
I went back to the library after grandparents day. This time I wasn't stressed for time, I had my mobile phone, I was just so over the whole buying tickets thing. I felt like a veteran by now. I put in the dates bought one lot of checked luggage, bought cheap insurance, just in case because it was my first time doing this stuff and it was cheap and yes I know all about add ons. That is where companies really make their money bit they have proved their worth to me over the years. I was still getting v. Cheap flights. Done -finally.
