Have any of you priced tickets to Milwaukee. It's a much smaller airport and it's only 1 hour from Waukegan, Il. I've heard it's cheaper.

goMahvelous, Our flights are ranging from 240 to 370 depending on departure city. Sounds like you're in the ball park. Where in the islands are you going? We banked our week in St. Thomas this month because flights were SOOOO expensive. Saving it for a trip to San Diego! (Hint: A School)

Jo, he probably didn't realize he could keep it. He may have purchased one in the NEX...but at least he will have the one you are sending back to him.

Well, I was just cleaning out my sons box and I found the calling card I gave him to call in his pants pocket. I guess that means no phone calls! :( I'm mailing it to him in a few minutes.

azmo: The form letter should be the proper address. My son did that sometimes too. Seems that the zip code was different. Never could understand why he did that, but all of my letters got to him...and I used the form letter address. Even if you use the one he wrote in the return address, it should get there. The division number is the important thing.

When I look at the clock and it says 40 days, I feel like I'm starting my own personal lent. I'll focus each day on the health and well being of all our SR's until we see them again!

I do have a question.....The return address on todays letter is different than the one we got on the form letter. Is that a better address? I am assuming so. Thoughts?

This is especially hard because it is a holiday weekend. We booked ours and watching rates for our SR's sister. Keeping our fingers crossed. Having faith that our SR will do awesome. BTW: Received a letter today.....best day ever :)

OMG, If you are flying Southwest, the longer you wait, the more chance there is that the lowest fare rates will get booked. As diannep says, go ahead and book. We have change fees on our carriers ranging from $75 to $150. The schedules are better for us and if we need to change (isn't that the only constant anyway?) we'll chalk it up. Good luck. You'll make the right decision.
