I fly Delta and Al Italia when going to Italy. I've flown Lufthansa, but wound up with a nasty delay in Switzerland.

2900 from Minnesota to Rome with one 2 hour lay over, then a DIRECT Paris back home!

AerLingus was a hair cheeper. But I would have had another lay over in Chicago and had to fend for myself.

So this prednisone has fucked me up. I have felt dehydrated with dry mouth for a week now.  I have literally been  drinking 5-6 gallons of water per day, pissing every 15 minutes and I still feel as if I've been walking a desert for days.

The cheepest I have seen in 6 months was 2600 with 2 stops each way.

How could you get a round trip for 750 per person??

Ha, you didn't say it was for more than one person. $1500 or so per person is normal.

Wow. I didn't even notice much of anything. Didn't feel different at all. I did get better fast, but have made headway since too.

Your normal is significantly less than others, and definitely not with delta and only one lay over.

I almost shit. You are right, I didn't mention for me and the wife.

You are healthier and in general better health. I'm also taking NSAIDs and those can bloat you up too.

Need to buy a ticket to Germany this week. When are you going? Wouldn't suck to have to have dinner somewhere in Paris. TONS of places that have quality of Travail albeit much more classic menus.

Had a productive day. Beat my budget(barely) got what feels like the best deal in the world on some flights.

The direct flight and short Boston layover end up saving almost 20 hours of travel time compared to what I found online.

I also found out cannon has a deal on the lenses I purchased. So I went in, got them to get a receipt with the current date, then the manager of the store clued me into another rebate that just started that isn't advertised. I asked him if he would make me a deal on a FF body, and he did. Matched online and then gave me a different rebate and discounted some BR straps to less than online price.

WOOT!

Not as cheep as used but close to refurbished and with new full warranty.

Is your 2 hour layover in Charles de Gaulle or Schipol? If it is CDG get ready to run, you almost need 2 hours to get from International to regional there.

It's the flight to Rome that has a layover. In Boston.

We go direct from Paris to home.

Boston is an okay layover. There is a legal seafood in the airport which has reasonable chowder. Can grab a lobster roll as well. Not great, but welcome to MA.
