The airlines are dropping prices like mad lately. I can hardly believe that Delta Web Fares is offering round trip tickets from LAX to Rome, Italy for only $314. That ticket would’ve been triple that a few months ago. I saw a commercial yesterday advertising $99 – $199 one-way tickets on American to anywhere in the continental US. I’ve flown twice since September 11 – well, four times, actually, since they were round trip – but after the most recent New York crash I’m pretty wary of flying. I just don’t trust security at the airports, and I don’t know that it’s going to get any better any time soon. I’m going to have to fly for the holidays, of course. What are you gonna do?
We’re staying put… We’ve just seen and heard too many stories on the news, most recently a bomb-scare at TIA that evacuated most of the airport yesterday, to feel safe about flying out of here. So we’re having ourselves a traditional white (sand) Christmas instead. 🙂
