i fear that the cheap tix just aren't going to pan out. the pek olympics are a really big deal so it's going to cost big money to come here, but it will worth it even if you have to rule bust.
like many of you, i will be standing on the sidelines at the 330 day mark. however, my expectations are low. if i have to blow 240k just to get my mom here in f (she deserves that), then so be it.
i'm already planning on using the coupon connectiostn (i will have nice stuff to offer) to hook up sis, gf, dad, and stepmom, but i will defintely have enough miles for mom.
