Reservations Made

[cjsmith]

Okay, anything I planned to do between 7pm Tuesday 12/10/02 and oh, say, Sunday morning 12/15/02 is null and void. I'm heading to Cleveland.

Actually, I'm heading to Detroit. You would not BELIEVE the airfare difference. I can get from San Jose to Cleveland for close to seven hundred smackers, but if I'm willing to drive to Oakland airport (an hour or so) and fly the redeye and wait two hours for a car rental place to open and then drive from Detroit to Cleveland (three hours or so), well, then I can get there and back for just over

two
hundred
dollars

I am impressed. Even with a car rental I'm easily coming out ahead. Of course, the timing isn't very convenient, because this airline has exactly one flight that day. But hey. For an out-of-work gal this is an excellent deal.

I hope these aircraft have engines.

I'll be thinking of you, and your mom, and your grandmother.

I have difficulty trusting anything with less than eight engines.
I hope you have a safe journey.

It's a microsoft plane - there are chairs on the tarmac and you all get to make plane noises and flap your arms ;)

Sorry we'll miss you while we're out in the Bay Area this weekend. But I'm glad you're able to be with your mom and grandma right now.

Actually, we'll be out there until Tuesday morning. If you're home by then, and are up to it, maybe have lunch Monday??

Yeah, it'll have engines and everything. I hope you have a safe trip, and that it goes as well as such a thing possibly can.

isn't it kooky how the differences between departure/arrival cities can vary so wildly?

{{{{hugs}}}} to you and your family. Wish i was closer to cleveland so i could offer you a place to escape to, and a kitty to scritch.

Pilots worry more about flying commercial than anyone else! You'll be fine -- if the aircraft experiences a problem, go on up to the cockpit and help 'em with it. Teach 'em how to do a lomcevak while you're there. ;-)

I'm glad you were able to find such a bargain fare, and glad you're going to be there with your mom. Give her a warm hug from me.
