Think through your current situation and you're sure to find places you can save for the necessity of a larger phone bill. Using email, instance computer messages and chatroom options will help a lot, but they cannot replace the personal touch of being able to hear each other speak. Use these tools, but don't expect them to fulfill a communication gap that is already suffering from distance. Be unyielding when it comes to those vital opportunities you will have to be together. Speak plainly with your boss, family or friends about the importance of having this time for your relationship.
Nothing is harder to cope with during a long distance romance than a last minute visit gone awry.
There may be some occasions that are unavoidable, but you should make it a priority to organize your life in such a way that your time together will be unhindered. To save for visits, make your flight arrangements as early as possible to get the best ticket rates. The non-refundable ticket options offer excellent savings, but carefully consider the odds of being unable to make the flight. Non-refundable means just that. When you are together, savor the quiet time only for each other.
