Well I'm thinking of this if fares drop/upgrades available (and yes i know i can book now, but i also have to pay now gang & hope for the fares go down; given i'm booking other stuff, that's not as good for me). anyway, i'll follow this but also want to throw a ringer out there (which mjm knows about). i'm allergic to seafood, so anyplace i go to has to have 1 - only 1 - non-seafood item or my meal will be beer.
