Sorry Owen, I forgot that was your end of town. I'll ask permission next time I'm in your area too.
Anyways, (as the youth of today would say), I'm all booked, couldn't get the A380 over so going via Kiwi land on clapped out old 743, couple a days in LA, over to Milwaukee, catch up with Jaba's crew, 5 days at Airventure, over to Tucson, boneyard, road-trip in Commodore to Vegas via Grand Canyon and Hoover, couple of nights in the mighty Vegas and back home on the A380.
Let's hope my 2 internal flights on Air Tran and Frontier aren't flights to remember for all the wring reasons!
All up $3k for Airventure tickets, flights, buses, accom, Universal studios and hirecars. Not including food and fuel. No bad as that is two whole weeks away and staying in Marriott and some other half decent places.
