OKit looks like September is a bonus month! $4500 for LAX to MEL but
would this have been a trip for one? surely our intrepid reporter has
a "secretary" girl friend or wife or sig other whose presence would
be required. OK OK that isn't really the issue is it, truth is any,
well many, of us would fly coach and forgo the houseboat if someone
were to foot the bill.

Now of course the question is after suffering through this trip could
one be critical?
