Good morning folks. Thanks for the link on the New Years Eve terror try, Molly. We have plans to fly to FL a few days after New Years. I just told Mr. Prairie that we need to be prepared to get in the truck and start driving in case anything happens that causes the airports to close temporarily.

I'm NOT changing our plans and refuse to be threatened into fear. Take that, you terrorist losers! Heh!

BTW, if anybody is looking for information on Mad Cow Disease the FAQ on this link is good. Actually the whole site is good and has the latest presser transcripts and updates:

When you travel, be sure to have your credit card balances paid up so you can do whatever is necessary to get home.

I have 2 friends who were in DC on 9-11. One of them was able to find a rental car and drive back to Iowa. The other friend wasn't quite so lucky. All the rental cars were gone when he tried to rent. He ended up buying a car, using his American Express card, in order to get out of there and home to his family in Iowa.
