I am "devouring" every piece of advice you have given me. Your ideas are awesome!!!!!!! Delta- Airtran- Amtrak- I will definitely look into, as well as car pooling. I looked on Greyhound earlier and learned that a round trip ticket to New Orleans is almost $250.00--- Yikes!!!!!!!!

I will keep you updated on what types of deals I am able to find. Thanks again so very much for all of your help!!!!!!!! Never in my life could I have imagined how much my world would change in just a few short months. It's great to know that there are people out there who will lend advice to help us get back home to our family.
