You may want to model your trip after the Nilly trip, during which we had F2Fs across the country to see her. I always say "Atlanta! Choose Atlanta!" but I am kind of an outlier in Buffistaland. However, Atlanta has the world's busiest airport, and we say around here that when you die, whether you're going to heaven or hell, you'll have to change planes in Atlanta.

A size reminder: 5.7 Israels would fit in the state of Georgia alone.

Seattle airport is super easy! And no more expensive than any other airport on the west coast coming from the east coast (on Southwest at least).

Happy travel planning, Shir!!! I recommend Baltimore, of course!

OK, added info to google drive. Hoping it saved...

I'd definitely take SeaTac over LAX any day of the week.

I'm convinced that LAX was designed by Satan during a flare up of his IBS.

Shir, insent.

It is saved, meara! lisa, would you like an invitation to the googledoc, to add Baltimore to it? Ginger, I'll definitely consult Nilly.

Question - what do you mean when you talk about pricey airports? Food and services prices, or something else?

Edited: also, thank you, Laga, but I don't think I'll go to Florida. I have family there, but we last been in touch with them in 1986. I don't even know if I should try and send a letter reminding them of my existence and asking them if they'd like me to visit them (due to potential family drama).

Sure, Shir!

OK. Sending it to your profile addy.

Shir, insent!

Kansas City ain't bad; it's a 45 minute flight from Chicago and can easily be a layover for a day from Chi to the East Coast!

Plus, we have BBQ, Christopher Elbow ice cream, dcp, Gudanov, and possibly aurelia and Anne. Quester, maybe?
