    What a relief!!

  2. You know, I’m sorry, but airline crashes are not the first thing I thought it would be testing the odds of with a URL like “Am I going down?” (Actually, I first read it as amigo ingdown, which didn’t make much sense.)
    I’m afraid to look, having booked tickets to Florida yesterday!

    you booked them *already*?? holy shit. i thought i planned ahead.

  4. I’m glad I did! We already on the flight there don’t have three seats together! They put us in an aisle and window, then a window in the next row – hopefully the person stuck between Rowan and Gary or me will be willing to change (and if they’re not, THEY get to talk to her and play with her for a five hour flight!).
    I bit the bullet because I set a price I’d be content paying for three tix ($750) to Orlando and could get in just below it ($736, including the AAA fee of $10/ticket). And now I’ve vowed I will not look at any travel sites, I won’t research fares, I will live in happy oblivion if the fares go down, because I paid what I wanted to, and won’t know the difference. ;)
    And no, we haven’t booked the rental car yet. Did make arrangements to get driven to the airport already (no long term parking at Logan for us!), much to my mother’s amusement (she being the transporter).
