Travel Planning Suggestions:

• Check Google Flights for airfare (Just Google "Flights")
• Don't buy airfare until 8-12 weeks in advance!
  (I promise you will get them cheaper if you wait)
  As of 11/8/25 roundtrip from IND is $378
  I expect to pay closer to $200 by waiting until Feb to purchase.
• Check airfare prices for two months from now, and that is likely what you can expect to pay when you are two months away from our trip
• Check airfare for surrounding airports as well, it may be worth it to fly cheaper to a different town and drive a bit.
• Rental Car prices don't change much, so it doesn't really matter
  how soon or how late you book them.
• Hotels and airbnbs might run deals as the date gets closer, but not always.
  If you find something you like, it doesn't hurt to go ahead and book it, especially
  if it's an airbnb or vrbo as these are each unique so if you like it, book it
  before someone else does!
