[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] Some good thoughts here, Mr. Palmland. Southwest's fare MDW-MSY was same as was United's from ORD ($401). I prefer United simply because I know my way around Terminal 1 at ORD, but that PRJ could well scrub last minute as they did with me today, means I should look for an air carrier who does offer refundable fares. It also could be a case of good luck getting a refund out of PRJ. So far as the Roosevelt goes, I have stayed there; it was the HQ for the 1973 NRHS Convention where my face found its way into CLASSIC TRAINS about a year ago. But when the destination city is simply a "zero" for me, the thought of spending more time there than necessary, and for a wholly discretionary trip, it's simply a turn off. I'd likely have a couple at bar, Dinner at the Hotel's restaurant where maybe they have a steak hiding away so I don't have to eat those things with fins and claws, and otherwise go back to the room and turn the flat-screen on. The call was just too close today; could I part company with $1300 without being on Food Stamps? Of course I could; would I like it, no way as it would just be another chapter in the best seller that started with friends of mine that ponied up for one of his 1978 vintage Golden Arrow steam tours. I think all can surmise how THAT turned out. Wisely I did not sign up for such; so I guess today would have been payback. With this close shave so narrowly averted today, any guesses what happened to the other half of that bottle of Chard I noted earlier? [/QB][/QUOTE]
