Yeah, air travel ain't what it used to be. We use our miles to upgrade long flights whenever possible and that makes it much better.

Andy has already told me that if I stick him in economy on a flight over 2 hours that it is grounds for divorce :) We haven't made the long haul for 3 years now so I do not know what sort of deals can be had in business first but I used to get very good deals depending on when I booked.

I find the more places I visit, the more I know about the world. As the saying goes, travel is broadening (and not just for the hips).

'Course, if you go to Frankfurt for the Devcon it is definitely broadening for the hips.

I like New England in the fall, too. Both my kids went to college in New England, so for those years, we almost always had a fall drive up there.

I thought that Solomon went to school at Oberlin (Ohio).
