KevGuy....we're planning an April school vacation week visit too. Have you booked your flight yet? I can't find a decent price anywhere for nonstop Logan/MCO or PVD/MCO. Never traveled that week before and surprised that can't find anything nonstop under $500. Have been looking since May.

Yea the weather is fantastic during April vacation, you'll enjoy going that week for sure. we went last year and had a blast. But seriously the airfare for that week is rediculous. Last year we took Airtran which is probably the cheapest, and that was a little over $500 and we booked it in January. Keep watching the prices they seem to change daily but from my research Airtran will be the cheapest for that week. They only have a couple of non-stops though. We did a voluntary bump to a later flight on the way home last year also and got a voucher for a RT trip this year for everyone. But so far I can't get a flight and there are no blackouts at all. They keep telling me that there is nothing available and I have been calling them since the day April flights were available. They keep talking about capacity restrictions. I am willing to take a 1 stop flight at this point just so we can use the voucher and fly free. Well, actually someone told me they will still charge us like $300 for taxes etc. or some other bull. I am going to be so mad if this voucher thing falls through and we end up having to pay for flights which will probably be astronomical by that point. One thing is for sure I will NEVER volunteer my seats again to get free flights after having to go through this marlarky. I will pay whatever, take my non-stop, and not deal with this again. I could have already booked flights for like $188 each way with a 30 minute layover in Atlanta if I wasn't trying to get the use of my flight vouchers. Unbelievable! Let me know how you make out and if you can get anything cheap. Also keep an eye on Southwest if your willing to drive down to Providence which isn't that far in my opinion, they always have good deals from what I hear. I swear they are price gouging everyone in Mass for that week because they know we have little choice if we want to go. Heck I'm flying out the Thursday before that week to get a head start and it is the same.

PS:
My wife's aunt and cousin live in Foxboro, love that town!!

I love Greg's Roast Beef. Sauce and cheese on mine, please

I went to watch the end of the JV soccer game when I got off the train yesterday, and I saw the cheerleaders at the varsity game and wondering which kid was yours, Rose Mary.

Oh, and Peter. Watch your PM's.

My daughter usually stands (when facing the cheerleaders) in the front row on the far right. She is a flyer if they were stunting. She wore her hair in a ponytail last night..............dirty blond!!

I went to school in Webster for a while. My parents have lived in Dudley for over 40 years. Also, I used to roller skate with a guy from Douglas-I think he still lives there, but he doesn't roller skate any more.

And although I call it the Centrum, I thought my parents recently told me that it goes by a different name now, maybe because of some new sponsorship.

It's called the DCU Center now. For a time before that it was called the Centrum Centre, which just sounded weird...

When were you in Webster? I grew up in Webster and lived there until I graduated from college (1986).
