I tried but the > SWA flight to Orlando wouldn't make a stop at the Varsity. Not enough pull, I guess, and I don't see SWA ever coming to Atlanta. Wonder where Keane will want to meet in Atlanta this December. He's been hinting strongly that he will be heading to WDW in December. And maybe in August. I am still thinking hard about August to see MSEP. I really don't want to miss it but I will wait until the end of July to decide. I am pretty sure I can get a room via DVC somewhere. Lisa
