Patti.....I was playing around on Expedia.com the other night. For giggles, I put in from VA to Spain...you wouldnt believe how CHEAP r/t tickets were. UNDER $500!!! Well, that was for fall of this year. I'm hoping the price doesn't jump that much for fall next year. Couldn't get to 2010 on their calendar, but even if it goes up $100, it's still a good price. THEN...I put in for same flight but to add France in there. Price jumped just a couple hundred. I couldn't believe it!! Told hubby about it and he was amazed at how cheap it was. So...I am DEFINITELY going to go! :) :) :) Just gotta get myself back to the US!
