Booking cheap tickets

Tonga is the only group of islands in the Pacific that was never under colonial rule. It was just too small and too far and of no important trading value or strategic value. It is so beautiful that Captain Cook returned to 'discover' the islands 3 times. To get there means a painful red-eye flight through Auckland to a dot in the middle of a huge blue patch of water. (Total 12 hour travel). The main attraction is to go dive with the majestic Humpback Whales, the very best time to do this is August.

So why am I telling you this?

Emma and I like to keep an eye out for good deals to fly around the region. And one day while on the internet I found what I was looking for. I grab the phone and call Emma: "Holy Shit, Holy Shit, Holy Shit!" Emma by this time thinks I've been fired, crashed the car or worse.
I've found return tickets to fly to Malaysia for 200 bucks. From there it's another 100 bucks to anywhere in china or South East Asia. We do our research: what's the best place, when is the best season. And once we're ready to book... Too late... all sold (in less than a day).
Damn, hell, devil, crap, shit, merde (shit always sounds better in French).
Okay, so this is how advertising works: we are now desperate to book anything we can find and heavily hit all the websites with offers. And we find one! WE ARE GOING TO TONGA! We'll be going end of August and we shall be swimming with the mighty humpback whales.
I am so happy!
