My faster internet is now installed. I now get 100 Mbps on my cell phone. My laptop only registers 30-38 Mbps, but that's more than twice the speed I had before.

I upgraded the seats on my flights to and from Pittsburgh for the sadly-not-for-Anthrocon vacation. This basically doubled the total cost, but having a wider seat and better food options is worth it.

I got an e-mail from the airline later saying my purchase was being refunded. I was worried the First-Class seats weren't available. Thankfully, the refund is for my initial upgrade to Economy Plus.
