I got an email this morning that fares had gone down by $155!!!! I checked it out and I was able to get a flight for a total of $220 including taxes and fees. Awesome!!!

I do have to make one stop in Houston each way, but I figured it is worth it for the money I'm saving! A direct flight on Delta is currently $400. The flight I booked is on Continental.

So I'm official!! And I'm so excited!!

Joanne - are you going to book a ticket this time? I wouldn't take a risk the flight would be booked again like in April :(.

Traci that's a good deal. I am coming too. My dh and I will fly into SLC on Oct 1, then drive to Yellowstone and come back on Thurs. I have to leave early on Sunday but at least I will get to hang out on Thurs eve, Fri and Sat with you all. He will chill at the Inn while I do my thing. We haven't been to Yellowstone in 4 or 5 years so I am looking forward to it. Of course we will have to visit the salt flats around SLC.

Sherri, it's a little hard to swallow paying a couple hundred dollars for a paid ticket when I can fly first class for free. The only drawback is having to fly stand-by. Hopefully there will be more scheduled flights to Utah then there were to Indiana, and I'll be lucky enough to get on one.

I'm not sure all the trouble you had to go through would have been worth it to me.....but to each his own I guess!! I hope it works for you this time.

I'm going to be optimistic about the flights to SLC. It seems as of today there are 20 Delta flights just on Oct. 5th alone where as when I tried to get to Suzi's house in St. Louis there were only 2 flights that day and the one I would have been on was cancelled. The next day there were only 3 flights to Indiana and they were filled with Delta businesspeople. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed from now until October.

Paula, you'll have so much fun in Yellowstone. Be sure to give either me or Ang a call when you hit SLC. Can't wait to see you too. It's just around the corner--I'm afraid summer will be gone before we know it.

And look how well THAT worked out for you! Just saying... Certain people missed getting to see you.

I will let you all know- can't wait myself for it to get here. That is what's going to get me through all these muggy 90 degree days -the reward at the end of the summer-seeing you and Ang and bunch more Shackies!!!!

Kathy, we just keep missing each other but I know we will meet someday soon. I think you'll be all healed and recovered from your knee surgery and I'm pretty much recovered from my back surgery so how about we meet up in Utah. Have you considered going? p.s. I need a roommate!

Nope, it will be completely out of the question. I only get 2 weeks vacation and that plus will be used up with my surgery. I was wanting to take a fall vacation for our 20th anniversary and don't even get to do that now.

I just booked my flight, too! Flying in Wed. and home Sun. Any non-smokers want to share a room? PM me and we can coordinate. Looking forward to meeting Shackies and having fun...so what do we DO at the Palooza? It'll take me until Oct. to figure out what to bring!! Good thing SW air allows free baggage :o)
