come back by a different route. There are good restaurants
on/near many airports. But there also are other
attractions. West Yellowstone is a gateway to Yellowstone
National Park, Glacier National Park, don't miss an
adventure because it is a few miles further away.

I agree with your philosophy, but I simply don't have time for a really
long cross-country. I'm working full-time, going to graduate school
nearly full-time and still trying to get the commercial finished before
my written expires in December. I may have to bit the bullet and retake
the written once my masters is finished in 2007, but I'm hoping to avoid
that.
