All is well!!!

Who knew that travel agents still had a place in today's world? Went into the on-campus travel agent, and she managed to get me (and a buddy) seats on UA 436 (which last night showed up as only A/F availability). So, my trip is now

SBN-ORD-SAN, SNA-ORD.

My buddies and I will get off at ORD, get on the South Shore line, and put down a case or two before we get back to SBN.

And I'm getting Premier for another year. I know, to a 1K/1P/UGS it means nothing, but to a lowly 2P it makes all the difference in the world.
