Thank you for the tip about Southwest. I guess if I choose that airline I should arrive early and stand at the door? Or is there another way to avoid being 'shut-out'? As for them coming out of Pittsburgh it is cheaper than neighboring Cleveland (who used to be the cheaper of the two to fly out of)...

I was told once there are 4 1/3 weeks in a month (by a bookkeeper) :D :D 52 weeks divided by 12 months equals 4 1/3 weeks per month. I go through this problem with my paycheck. I don't get paid every two weeks, but rather on the 1st and 15th. Some pay periods have a lot of hours and some have less....

And unless the friend is either a hardcore PH or BNer, you probably don't want them with you- I know Christina's friends kind of ruined her trip a few years ago- she was so excited to meet everyone, and she got like an hour, and they complained the entire hour (plus other drama). Are you trying to ...

Garmisch is a great town and wonderful food. One of the military hotel - Von Stuben (where I stayed) has great meals. Though I am not sure if you are able to walk in off the street.

I always use Expedia and Yahoo to find flights, then book directly through the carrier. There's enough information and competition out there now that I'm pretty sure the days of happening upon a real deal are gone, or at least extremely rare. I have learned my lesson about SW to Vegas though- they ...

I've been to 14+ shows in Las Vegas, as well as numerous shows elsewhere and I have to say that there is something special about the Vegas shows that doesn't seem to happen anywhere else. 1st, you get a decent arena to see the show in. 2nd, you get the Pre-Concert Party at the MGM 3rd, you get the ...
