Hi all:

Appreciate the replies. It also took me a while to "find" my post. I had posted it in Travel Security (customs, you know) and it was moved to the "co" forum.

Which was fine, except I didn't know what forum that was. I finally figured out how to do a search for my own posts, or I never would have found it!

Haven't talked to Continental yet. Prices have gone double since I bought the ticket and just by looking, seems the only option she would have that same day on Continential would be a hellish connection from Houton to Newark to Portland, Ore.
