Thanks for looking into guys. I've worn the travel sites out for our week. There was always some issue. Either getting there too late, a layover and/or changing planes more than once on the way back, seats not together, or using US Airways. But, I worked it out. Instead of driving to Memphis, we are going to drive to Atlanta. There we'll catch a non stop to Aruba (JUST BOOKED!!!!). Memphis was going to be a decent drive for us. Atlanta isn't that much worse. Besides, I don't like to fly, and my gf has never flown. So there will be less flying and no connecting this way.

I started to wait til Tuesday to book since I heard that the prices change then. But, there was only two seats together on one of the flights. I didn't want to miss out. Besides, I'd be suprised if prices went down.

Someone asked why I didn't want US Airways... I read some things that turned me off. So, I asked a friend of mine at the office if he'd ever used them. And he told me that he'd used them once and that on his flight an engine quit and he had to turn around and go back to Charlotte. That was all I needed to here. I want to feel good about this trip and I knew if I booked US Airways, I'd be apprehensive about it. So, its just about my own peace of mind.

Anyway, sorry for the long post. But, I'm SO EXCITED!!!
