Thanks for the Alitalia idea. Maybe we'll just go to Italy instead. One of the problems we have is that we can only go for 4-5 days since my Mom doesn't want to leave my Dad by himself for too long. And he won't go cause he flew once during WW II on a transport and hated it. He's too stubborn to try and convince that planes are a little different now. Anyway, it'd be too much for her to ride to PHL and then take the long flight.

Of course, there was my ulterior motive of getting those AA miles in my account to get me closer to a million.

Pat, who now only needs 742,000 miles to reach a million
