"Key is something different - last year I purchased flights and accommodation flying out the next day for a 7 day vacation..."
Thx Alan...now I feel like a cheapo. I got my mother in law booked on a free military flight to Damascus (helmet and frag vest included). All she has to do is man the 50 cal. machine gun en route.
Once she becomes a "guest" of a local terrorist cell, she volunteers to do the cooking ...and voila...white flags everywhere.:)
