Can somone talk to me ... ? Please :) or a Hug would be nice .
Edited on Mon Nov-24-03 10:13 AM by CarolinaPeridot
I don't really post my business like this but here goes :

I am trying to find the cheapest flight to America from Europe that I can find . Anybody know any cheap international flights websites ? I am so desperate. I had the biggest of biggest fights with my ex-boyfriend last night and I know now that I have to get out of here . Should I press charges ? I have been putting up with this mess for a year now . I thought I could fix it but I can't. I am too young for this . I have a life to live . I just want to get away from here and get back on American soil . The DU has been my comfort for over a month now and reading it has made it clear to me that it is time for CP to come home . But the DU can't be my comfort anymore . I have looked for flights all day . I feel so sick today :( I need a hug ...


Just had to vent ...

2. Here is your hug. Have you checked out Orbitz and the like?
I know it will be tough with this week being a holiday week. Perhaps check on flights that leave on Thanksgiving? My heart goes out to you, and hope you are soon seeing happier days.

4. Don't know if this will help, but try this:
www.lastminute.com (good if you can get to the UK)

Most of the airlines have last-minute specials, too. I know United and American do.

Good luck.

In the meantime, :hug:. You always have friends here.

10. Thanks to you and everyone else ...
I figured as long as I can get back to anywhere on the East Coast I can Amtrak it on down to NC . I have never had a relationship that went this severe before . I'm just 23 , I think love sucks . Any other guy that comes my way I am heading the other direction .

17. Know whatcha mean about the stalkers!
Have had my share of those and don't want a repeat.
PM me when you get back and we'll have a coffee session :)

Travel safe! I find that travel.yahoo.com or expedia.com have pretty decent airfares, or you can go direct to the airline's website.

13. I'm sitting in a railway station,
got a ticket for my destination.
Every stop is neatly planned
for a poet and a one man band.
Homeward Bound
Oh I wish I was
Homeward Bound....


Love doesn't suck, but there sure some sucky people out there.

I hope it turns out well for you, good luck coming home.

Try www.dialaflight.com they will do their best to get you the most reasonable flight, I used them all the time and they never let me down.

Good luck.

20. I found when I traveled
that local travel agencies often have better fairs than going through US travel sites. Why don't you just hit a few travel agencies and ask. I also saw an article about local European airlines starting up (I didn't save it) and that they were offering huge discounts now. That might help you get to London or Dublin which often offer some of the cheapest fairs to US.

You implied that you might need to press criminal charges. Why? I hope you are OK.

:hug:

23. When someone repeatedly puts you in pain
when they snap - He throwed a full bottle of soda at my stomach . What if I was pregnant ( I am not ) A month ago he nearly pushed my down the stairwell and more ... maybe I was just too nice . But I want to come home ...

If you have no other option go to the nearest "Frauenhaus". They know what to do in such cases.

26. Please leave ASAP and
do not tell him you left until you are safely away. You are most at risk of physical harm at this point. Just go and take what you can. PM me if I can help. I can start looking for flights if you are too emotionally upset to do so now.

21. Here's a hug, and some info:
You are doing the right thing getting out of that relationship. If he hurt you, go to a doctor and have it documented. Please, get safe! My dh runs this site, with lots of info:

I hope you get a flight out, with all my heart!

29. we've got the light on for you...
...and the latch string is out.

America, I love you!
You're like a sweetheart of mine!
From ocean to ocean,
For you my devotion,
Is touching each bound'ry line.
Just like a little baby
Climbing it's mother's knee,
America, I love you!
And there's a hundred million others like me!

(WW1 song)

30. I've used travelocity in the past
http://www.travelocity.co.uk/ - I don't know how relatively cheap they are, though.

31. Get thee home!
www.travelocity.com
www.expedia.com
www.cheaptickets.com
www.orbitz.com
www.hotwire.com
www.priceline.com
People often forget in this day of internet travel, that you can fly standby really cheaply (I think this also applies to international flights as well). Good luck :hug:
