you very much), I just booked a roundtrip from NY to San Francisco on
Continental, due to depart _tomorrow_morning_, for under $300! That, plus a
decent hotel for $65 a night! Double woohoo!

Thanks, Jim
Actually, I prefer United.
My next trip to San Antonio on Nov. 10th I'm flying United via Denver
instead of Southwest via Las Vegas or Phoenix.
Reserved seat, and about an hour shorter travel time.
Peanuts on SWlast Wed. coming back from Orlando were *not* honey roasted.
And they tossed out Nabisco snack boxes with cheese crackers, Teddy Graham
minis, and Oreos - all the kind of stuff I do *not* need to eat on a diet
and as a cardiac rehab patient.
If they only knew that I'm really *morally* handicapped <hee hee>.
