Depending where you are flying from the airport may even have an international terminal that is separate from the domestic terminals.
Jerrie and I went for 5 thanksgivings to Europe* on the cheap and unless one of our children gets around to inviting us pretty soon we just might make it six.

GK, Naji, thanks again for hosting a great do!
I'm now in Germany, and a little worse for wear due to that 03 am departure time, but already I'm trying to figure out when my next chance to head out your way will be.
After the dinner I met a girl at a place on Rue Monot that I would love to see again soon...
Oh, and yes, I think we're all agreed as far as the band goes!

...Granted the band was not that fantastic, but believe me, with time, you will learn to channel those awful sounds away and simply listen to those discussions you want to listen to... Give it some time...

GK and BEYFlyer, the news accounts of the bombing of the runway of the Beirut Airport are very worrying. Are you all right? Will you be able to fly in and out of the country? Many of us are concerned about you, and would love to hear from you.
