That's quite a risk, though, so be careful in case you try to do that. Moreover, end of August is when all the folks with kids are returning home in time for school, so there's going to be a lot of folks vying for any seats that open up.

Best of luck with the redemption, VS or 9W.

Thanks, will put a reminder on my calendar.
