Planning continues for 2008 travel experiences

Mary continues to make arrangements for European Vacation in May. It is amazing how many different prices can be located for the same hotel/tour/plane flight! We had seen at least four prices for the same hotel on the same dates in London - finally a local travel agent was able to get us a confirmed (pre-paid) reservation for 60% the prices on the Internet.

The Seattle area will be our travel destination in September. The Navy Nuclear Weapons Association is having their 24th annual reunion then. This is a great time for us old sailors who worked in the Navy's nuclear weapons field to get together and reminisce about the old days. Check out the NNWA's website at http://www.navynucweps.com/.

Just a comment - haven't made airline reservations yet, but found out that US Air changed (last year I think) the upgrade rules for European flights. Unlike any other upgrade rules, your ticket must cost at least $1200 round trip before they will allow one to upgrade. At least my miles aren't expiring on me! It would have been nice to get a pair of first class seats for those long flights!!
