And the big move back to California continues. Friday, a key step: booking the tickets home time. July 9 is the day. So it's 30 days and counting down to getting back to the Golden State.

Booking tickets was a pretty funny experience. First I went through my regular travel agent. Get me four one-way tickets! Who books one-way tickets? So I felt compelled to explain why -- that we were moving. I mean technically, we're emigrating. That makes me a twice emigrant -- to the UK and now back to the US.

And tickets are friggn' expensive. I mean thousands compared to the same time last year when you'd be talking hundreds. Guess those gas prices mount up.

In the end, I used miles to get back. Four "free" one-way tickets. Quotes around the word free because each costs $400 apiece due to "an offline booking fee of GBP 60.00, a security and insurance surcharge and a fuel surcharge per sector levied by the carrier."

Ouch. I can remember paying about $400 for an entire roundtrip ticket between the US and the UK. I'm old.
