I was going to wait to buy my ticket, but I may just pony up now. I can't see the prices going much lower!
ETA: Do you think the prices from O'Hare will go down much? They just seem so ricockulously reasonable right now.

Oh, also - Clark Howard, radio guy in Atlanta, has a special page on his site for travel deals for Atlanta: [link] Definitely worth checking frequently.
ETA: For instance -
Round-trips on Northwest to Halifax, Nova Scotia are $176 on any available day and on seasonal trips taken over the next 10 months.

Let me check with the hotel today to make sure nothing has come up since last week before you make reservations.
That's probably as good as it gets from Chicago, Sail.
Atlanta is the main Delta hub. The main discount airline serving Atlanta is AirTran, and it's usually AirTran sales that drive the market.
As Brenda says, Clark Howard is the travel guru. I subscribe to the e-mail list that you see on her link. (He's also a consumer advocate. It's a rare Atlantan who hasn't begun a sentence with "Clark Howard says.")

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Looks like Delta currently has a bunch of DC-Atlanta flights from around $220. That price will probably be going down in a little bit, though.

Yes, you do!
I checked with Melissa, and the weekend of May 4 is still fine with The Highland Inn.

I have to check with my friend's husband, who's a pilot for Chataqua (I know I spelled that wrong) to see if I can use their Buddy Pass program. Tickets are only the cost of tax that way. (!!!) But I don't think he flies a route to Atlanta, and I don't know that I can guarantee the date.
But either way, I'm planning on coming. My first F2F, whee! (And just before my birthday, too!)

The status is NOT quo.
I'm so bummed that I can't make it, but I'm not even getting home from the week-long 9th grade camping trip until Friday night, and I'm going to be in no shape to do anything more than sleep that weekend. t pout
It will be the first F2F I've missed since I joined the board, so I expect extra good PICTURES and FRIVOLITY from the rest of you!
