Hello, April, Carole and I booked South west for the 9th. I was surprised at the cost I though it would be lower based on the economy. Not that I like thinking about returning home but we have 2:20 out of Hobby. This is late for us but I don't know the area and felt the extra time would lower the stress level. The only thing have to do is contact the airport ride service we use and print out the boarding passes. I am looking forward to traveling to a warmer climate this winter, not that Nor Cal is that cold. This will be only our second winter trip the first was NOLA. We are looking forward to visiting with everyone one again. Take care, Mike[/i]
