I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

F2F 4: Too Much Candy, Never Enough Mojitos.  

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: Madison, WI from June 20-22 2008! Official website.

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.

Awesome! I need to visit Atlanta more often!

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!

Our wings are not tired.

I highly recommend farecompare.com and travelzoo.com for flight purchases/research.

Yup, Ginger, another great one. I used Kayak to book my hotels in London.
