Got Them - well tickets down there any way. Reserved on line yesterday and got a really good deal. now all I need is tickets home mid August, though could always tell boss unable to get back, have decided to become a beach bum and stay there forever! What do you guys think? Do you think the boss will take pity on me, think Im insane and pay me sick pay for 6 months? - just a dream i know!  Thanks for all words of wisdonm and support on this matter. Often all we want is a place to vent frustrations.
