for the trip to Asheville? I am wondering if I should make airline reservations now to get the best flight times. With the way my feet feel, I am hesitant.


Just curious on when would be a good time to make reservations.

I'm waiting until June, but if I see flight prices start to head upward over the next couple of weeks, I might do it earlier. I can understand your hesitancy in making arrangements with your foot still bothering you. But I can't imagine it will still be causing so much discomfort by October. Then again, knock wood, I've never had foot surgery. Are you anticipating another big setback?

I've been having thoughts about that too and DH actually had mentioned to me if I had done anything about it. Are you up for a traveling companion?

You must have ESP! I've thought about this several times this week and meant to post about it, but got sidetracked. By the way, Grace, sorry I got bumped off line during our chat yesterday. I've been having to run lots of scans to keep my computer from freezing up or to get it unfrozen (thawed?).


I was thinking I'd wait until summer to make my flight reservations, but will also be keeping an eye on the fares. Our room reservation is made. I'm staying through Monday. Donna, have you decided if you're leaving Sunday afternoon or Monday afternoon? Seems that Saturday will be the only full day that all of us will be there, so we'll have to cram a lot in that day -- Biltmore, dinner out, etc.

Yep, a ticket on Subaru Tour Lines! Asheville's in driving distance for me.

No help, am I? If I were flying, I'd probably start monitoring rates next month, holding out for one of those unadvertised bargains, or booking in mid-late August if nothing showed up.

Would love a traveling companion, Susan. I was going to leave as early as possible on Friday and return on Moncay. Delta had some good flights and prices the last time I checked. I also wanted to fly out of MacArthur and there would be a stopover in Ga. Not bad though.


Let's start putting our heads together and book it soon. This is getting exciting...it is really going to happen!!

Lucky you to be able to drive! I have driven to Charlotte by myself and it took me 11 hours. I don't know if I would want to attempt driving to Asheville for a weekend...too much time in the car. Then I would be wiped out for the fun stuff.


AT least we will know at least one person with a car there!!
