I have not checked into Airline prices yet, my Daughter-in-Law is handling the Airlines and I am handling the Hotel Reservations. I have heard that refundable tickets are more expensive. Ask one of the more knowledgeable Moms like Lydia, Lynne or Diane, if they don't know they will find out for us, they are great!

If you can fly Southwest- they let you change them and just pay the difference of the flight. I fly for work all the time and I had a free ticket and some credit so it cost me $100 for 2 tickets. I know- not fair!!! They were having a sale too- and they are a seperate website- you can't see their prices on expedia- so look at both. I also reserved the car through Dollar Rental and it was only $33 per day for full size. Remember it could be snow so I wouldn't get a small compact car. - just a thought :)

PreciousMom - yes Refundable tickets are much more expensive. So Id wait for a few more weeks. That is just my opinion. I did hear about the sale that navymom is talking about -- might look into that but still you have time!

Hello Ladies of Div. 038. Anybody get any letters today or yesterday? I haven't gotten a real letter yet, just the form letter. Did get a short call yesterday though, he needed additional info faxed to him and you could tell he had someone over him, no chit chat all business but at least heard his voice.
