Our airfare has been purchased. We would have saved $70/pp if I booked it a few weeks ago, but there was so much chaos because Grandma died. By the time I finally got around to doing it, it went up. We have nonstops each way though. ORD-Paris and Amsterdam-ORD.
We are flying on Continental, and I hope that everything goes smoothly. There was just another scare regarding some men who they suspected were related to the terrorist links. They caught them in Amsterdam. Who would ever think we'd have to worry about that sort of thing!
