Good to be Back - I Think!

Wow! what a difference 4 days makes. I just got back last night from a terrific first time trip to the wine country in Northern California (thanks to all the “elves” that kept up with the mad pace of airline ticket and fee hikes this week on the blog). This morning I am chatting with 5 radio shows on the ABC Network, doing a segment for local TV on Holiday travel (yes holiday travel) and will be on to chat with Ali Velshi on the CNN Issue #1 show in the noon hour (12:35 edt) — welcome back … While I was in the air (on a flight from OAK-DFW — which will be cut shortly) all sorts of crazy things were announced — I can’t say I told you so … but the air travel world we live in is changing at warp speed around us — so lets continue to chat over the following days/months on how to quickly adapt to airlines $130 barrel oil “revenue” initiatives and as always make better air travel buying decisions.
