Brenda and I are leaving Newark to Chicago on Sunday the 16th. We have no idea when we will be arriving in Vegas. Last year we took three consecutive bumps in Chicago (never left the airport on Sunday) and American Airlines finally had to put us up in a fine Chicago hotel overnight because they ran out of additional flights to put us on. Also gave us $15@ for complimentary dinner at the hotel and 1st Class seats on the first flight out in the morning. We were up $1,800 in travel vouchers before we got to Vegas! Hope we arrive in time for the Early Bird Welcome on Wednesday evening this year! If not; give us a call in Chicago...... <g>
