just found an interesting site.
travel zoo.com

i did a search for flights today....delta was almost
$700 non-stop to tampa from minneapolis.
same for frontier/midwest...southwest senior fare was 650.

found a flight/united/ tues nceca, mpls, chicago, tampa
same back sat morn.
$379...t+ax=3D400 total.
i took it. travel zoo.

travel zoo searches and compares multiple airlines/searches.
this was the best, through orbitz.
so.

those still looking, try travel zoo. it is a tiny bit complex,
but you can figure it out.

prices are sky high...one has to search like mad.
i hate paying full price...makes me spit up.

mark issenberg will be searching for a room mate
hotel thing...talked to him this morning. so, anyone looking..
captain mark is a great guy. he does leave wood ash around
though, you have to pick up after him.

i think i will be staying on a couch
in marta's room. she will not even notice...i can save a ton
of money that way. and her room mate is younger and will not
notice either. if i speak hungarian she will think i am
a valet/room service guy. times are tough, gotta think creatively.
(marta called me last night...screaming in the phone with that hungarian
accent...`melll, melll, the clayart room is going to be soooooonice, hooora=
y
for clayart.` she is loyal, you have to give her that.

russell, you are in charge of her again this year. keep her in line.
thank god for russell. (russell is flying in from Belgium, and steven mill=
s is
coming from great Britain. now i am saying it...`hoooray for clayart`)
now if we could get joyce..hmmmmm.
