Our pulses were pounding as we perused through the AA website.  It’s worth it to note that you could also book from Priceline.  There were dates available throughout 2015 with the cheap fare, but most of it departs during the week.  We found a flight over the Labor day weekend and went ahead to book our trip. The good thing about booking with American Airline is that you are allowed a 24 hour hold on the fare, but once booked, is non-cancelable. Other airlines usually allow a 24 hour cancellation period once booked. We had decided after our crazy year in 2014 that we were going to take it easy and not travel so much this year. That lasted almost 10 days in the new year before we booked ourselves on another flight. But who can pass up a round trip ticket to Rio for $385 per person?  Certainly not us.

As of time of post we were issued tickets with ticket numbers.  We will wait to make sure it’s completely official before booking hotel and making plans for our trip down South.  I am so excited for Brazil, and crossing my fingers that the tickets are honored. I’ve always wanted to go to Brazil, I just didn’t think I would be going this year.
