MaryLou - wish you were close too that would make for a fabulous 6 hours&#33;  Any other crazies live in DC, that&#39;s a great idea.<br /><br />Thanks everyone for your input, yes we were able to get seats on the morning flight and I must say after much thought and your help we are sure we are making the best decision.  <br /><br />Ed - As SAA is only flying into DC every other day for the month of November we are going to fly back home a day earlier - bummer, one day less with the family but what can we do.   At least this will give me 2 days at work before Thanksgiving, mind you with the jet lag they will probably wish that I had stayed at home  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />  It usually takes me 2 WEEKS to recover.<br /><br />Sunshine - I sure hope yesterday and today were much brighter for you, I know you have an exciting weekend coming up.  We have an area BOA 2 hour meeting (incl lunch) today.<br /><br />Have a great day everyone.....
