<p>A while back, someone noted that air fares for Family Weekend were getting ugly. </p>
<p>Finally booked today...'tis true, 'tis true. One of the rare cases where it was better to use my travel agent to book domestic because the on-line options involved getting to Northampton near midnight or flying a red-eye or flying from SoCal to Northampton via Charlotte, North Carolina or getting up hyper-early to catch a 6am flight from LAX or having a four-hour layover somewhere or...you get the picture.</p>
<p>You can still get moderately priced tickets from here if you're willing to make a compromise. We weren't so willing. As TheMom says, we're too old for some of that stuff. But to get tix that meant leaving LAX at around 9am and getting in in to Bradley around 6:30pm meant paying almost double what "cheapest" would have been. Yuck. </p>
<p>Still too early to book airfares for graduation. I suppose we'll also need to know if D is flying back home with us or if she's flying elsewhere for a job...and that won't be known until the GRE results, grad school app result and/or job interview results are in...so much up in the air. So to speak.</p>
