<DIV><FONT size=4>I am going to da Burgh the following weekend—about 370
miles—and I looked into flying. Train was out—too expensive and schedule
not viable for me. No bargains in the air at that time. Was going to
drive. Then I got an inspiration. I checked the Dog schedules and
fares. Schedules are workable and—get this—the RETURN fare Philly-Pgh is
$21.00 all in! Even though I have to pay a small amount (at old fart
rates) to get from Wilmington to Philly via SEPTA, and still have to drive to
Wilm, I can’t afford to drive at that price!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>I doubt I will be as comfortable on the Dog as I would be in
my own car, but at least I can read and the seat is not that much worse than an
airplane coach seat.</FONT></DIV>

some, 15 minutes was a lot of time to get to the gate. In the1970's I
sometimes traveled with a co-worker who more than once arrived at the gate about
a minute before the aircraft door was closed. <BR><BR><BR><BR>We were in
Pittsburgh a few weeks ago, and with the 70mph speed limit I figur ed that
driving the 500 miles would take about an hour longer than total time taking the
plane . Plus the car was more comfortable than coach and I di
dn't have to pay at least $100 to check our bags, and then pay for a rental car
in Pittsburgh. <BR><BR><BR><BR>Bob <BR><BR><BR><BR>----- Original Message
