I am under the impression that SkyWest is generally considered the best regional carrier. I've only flown goJet UX a couple of times (ORD-STL runs), but they've been good to me. I got to fly on the first revenue service flight of a new CR7 with them last fall in F. I celebrated the occasion by going through three drinks on the <300 mile flight. ^ |

And, both of those are far enough (too far, actually). CLE-BOS, especially, just sucks royally.

I can't recall seeing a near-vertical line going to the upward side on a stock chart.

Do a historical chart search for just about any tech stock between 1997-1999.

Sure, but I wasn't in the market then. I'm just thrilled that I made a good pick.

I was a roadtripper growing up also. One of the virtues of growing up in the Midwest (STL) is that there are a lot of places that are a 2-day drive, even with a few kids in the car. Pretty much anything that's less than 1200 miles is in-range.
We never did a trip like your Halifax run, though - that's just ridiculous. Summer vacation each year was pretty uniformly 2 weeks. Couple of days of driving each way, then 7-10 days at the destination(s).

That roadtrip you describe is insane. 2600 miles of driving to spend one day at the destination? Yikes.

I grew up in CLE also, and we drove to BOS and ACK a couple of times with three kids in the backseat. It sucked, so I asked for being able to fly there as a birthday present for future trips.

All of this talk about long roadtrips from CLE makes me happy that we never went any further by car than BOS or YUL.

I've done that one several times, and there is no good way to break up that trip. I remember spending the night in Utica once.
I suppose the one good thing about all these roadtrips was that we did have pretty good family bonding. And thankfully, none of us were all that tall or long-legged (at the time). There was a lot of singing (including the complete recitations of entire Broadway musicals and Gilbert & Sullivan operettas, music and dialogue). I ended up writing my "tell us about a tradition in your family/culture/town" essay for my Stanford application about road trips with the fam. It was pretty tongue in cheek because I was pretty burned out after all the rest of the college applications, but apparently they liked it well enough... |

One month until JJ joins :-:. Hopefully the domestic Brazilian awards I'm eyeing are still available then.

That's an intra-day chart. Happens a lot when companies surprise on the upside. Of course, it can go the other way too.

Central Illinois is mind-numblingly dull. It's like I-80 across Nebraska. |

Sounds like ORD-MEM. For a little while before we got married, my wife lived in Memphis while I was in Chicago. When there weren't <$200 e-fares and I wanted to pay a visit, I'd leave work at 2p on a Friday, and roll into Memphis at midnight.
