Thanks for the beginning to the report. Sounds great so far! Non stop flights are certainly the way to go, if you can do it, especially around the holidays! Staying at your son's house the night before sure makes it nice for you! Glad you woke up in time to see some of the fireworks! That could have been me.. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Smile.gif" alt="" /> Please let us know how you like your accomodation..
