    Ahh, dd I wish we could go at different times, but taking the kids out of school (including keeping them home if they're sick) more than a few days means we get nastygrams from the principal threatening fines and legal action. OKC schools have their fall break at the same time, so it's the same situation over there - though I didn't realize they have more seats so I'll have to keep an eye on things over there just in case...we have a large AA maintenance base here so they always seem to be filled up for fall break too. We hate being tied to the school breaks! It doesn't stop us from travel, but it does slow us down and add more stress. Haven't actually tried ZED yet...darn it, always things to learn. We do enjoy heading over to XNA (it's a shorter & prettier drive than OKC) when necessary.

    Well, we just returned from our 4 night get-away...ended up just going to Orlando (NO theme parks) and just relaxed in a 3 bdrm condo. Not exactly the trip I was originally hoping for, but we caught all our flights (half due to our persistence in holding out till the last second - and explaining to the gate agent that just because there aren't 5 seats on the aircraft doesn't mean we want keep our group together and wait for the next oversold flight)...kiddos were happy to play in pools and lazy rivers. In the end I'm glad they had a fun time and it was warm. When we landed we discovered a 40 degree temp difference and are even more grateful we ended up in a warm place for our get-away! Maybe next time we'll end up in Costa Rica or Italy! Thanks to everyone for your help!

    In my book, when it's chilly and yukky at home, any place warm is a good place. Glad you had some fun family time.
