Hello, James. Hello, James.

Hello, Chelsea.

So we got ourselves into a bit of a predicament this week.

Yeah, we did.

What do we do?

Oh, yeah, I'm involved.

And basically what we're going to talk about now is what do you do when you need to be in a destination for a certain date? Yeah. But your flight prices have just gone through the roof. Oh, hell. It's the worst feeling ever. It's always happens when I'm booking your birthday trip somewhere. Yeah.
