The story of my life!

4-5 weeks of going to Baltimore, and my choice is a lonnnnnggggg trip on NW from Ft. Walton Beach, change in Memphis, go to Detroit, change again (or stay overnight if I leave on the evening flight), and finally get to Baltimore.

Or, take ASA (rather, TRY to take ASA) from Ft. Walton to Atlanta and grab a nice direct flight on the real Delta from there to Baltimore. Of course, the kicker is, getting to ATL before your connection takes off! And, hopefully, doing the same in reverse so you don't have to overnight in ATL and maybe get home Saturday night.

No brainer, Doc. NW may not be fun on this route, but at least I get there and back!

Now, though, the fates are not kind...NW gets direct service from Memphis to Baltimore...2 months after I'm done here.

Oh, cruel fate, whither have I offended thee?!
