Thanks Anne. Sorry for the confusion....he is in Tampa, works on Martin Luther King Blvd (Rd, St, something like that) lives on Harborside Dr. According to him, he is about 10 minutes west of Tampa Intnl., and right on some water. I am flying into MCO on the 29th. This is when I originally had planned to go to WDW. So, when he was able to move into an apt this week, rather than Dec 1, I decided to just bring the cat with me. He figured that was good since he would have had to pay the airfare for me if I had to take a different flight in order to bring the cat to him. So, rather than take a different flight, into Tampa, over the THanksgiving week-end (with prohibitive fares!) I said that I would just go to WDW a day earlier than I had planned. I am such a good mom....forcing myself to go to WDW earlier. So, he is driving up from is work, but leaving early, to MCO to pick the cat up and then bring me to WDW on his way back to Tampa.
It would have cost almost the same for the cat to fly as cargo as it is for me to fly with her in the cabin!!! And I just have a hard time putting her in a crate and stuffing it in the belly of the plane. I know that a lot of animals go this way.....breeders, both cat and dog, do it all the time. But they won't fly the animal if the temp. drops below 45 at either end of the flight. So, that's not an option unless I wait until the spring. And since I have such a problem with putting her into that plane belly..my only option is...flying with a cat. It's basically ds's problem. He wanted to save the money, so I'm not sure why I'm so concerned about the drive. 4 hrs out of his life isn't a big deal. And it saves him $250 in airfare.
So, thanks for the offer Anne. That's really nice of you. And to think that my dh just can't understand why I like these boards so much! I'll be sure to let you all know how it went. It should be quite the adventure.
