I took the plunge.

It's done. I just booked a N/S flight to MCO with AirTran out of Dayton, early morning. I'm pretty excited. Of course, if you thought I asked a lot of questions before...

Hey, 8:05 isn't early!
We've taken this flight every year since 2003 -- Airtran is very nice! When are you going?

Congratulations!!!!


​

VERY proud of you - you'll see, it's not that big a deal in the end. Now, we have about 6 or 8 months to answer all your questions, don't we?

By the way, how do you feel about hedge toads?

Congratulations! Now just watch for your fares to go down so you can get a credit.

We depart May 4th. I'm pretty danged (durned? gol'danged?)) excited, I must say. My plan is to take the tack that so many DISers seem to have taken (at least, according to their trip reports): as soon as we pull out of the driveway and start heading toward the airport, we're on vacation, and nothing, but nothing, will ruin our trip. I'll just take whatever comes, and roll with it. 'Course, knowing that, as of yesterday, we'll be capping off our illustrious stay with a night in the Royal Assante Suite at AKL will go a LONG way toward maintaining my laissez faire demeanor.

Thanks!

And, regarding the questions, there will be many, I promise you. Like Al Jolson uttered, to profound effect, in The Jazz Singer, "You ain't seen nothin' yet!"

And let me just state right here and now: I am positive that I would've passed up yet another opportunity to fly, if not for kind, informative people like you, Bavaria, and erikthewise, and CarolA, and many, many more. I'll be forever appreciative. So thank you, all of you!

You got me. I forgot one (dangit!). I take my hat off to you, my friend. I thought I was the most studied Peanuts geek I know, but you, sir, have brought to light my folly. It's time I recommence reading the Complete Peanuts collections.
