Disaster and travel aroid show

From: "brian williams" pugturd50 at hotmail.com> on 2001.09.13 at 02:48:03(7476) Since the disaster in New York will the aroid show still go on? I am sure some would be scared to fly after this tragedy. I was planing on leaving on Monday but would really need to know what the situation is going to be. I have heard gas going up to 4.50 if that is the case me driving would be extremely expensive. If their are any changes please post them I truly need to know. THANKS I must say it has been a very unforgettable weeks of tragedy. +More _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

I have a ticket out of Boston for next Thursday but doubt seriously that Logan airport will be open with all the investigations, etc. I think all of us who travel must be flexible and rethink our plans. Some of us may not be able to attend the meeting as we hoped. I do know that Amtrak is running and they are adding extra trains as they can fit it in. Amtrak is honoring air tickets, so there must be some kind of exchange policy with them and the airlines. You might check with Amtrak about this. There is a train to Miami. So many travelers are stranded so they are working hard to make transportation available but it won't be so easy to travel for quite a long time ahead. I had heard that gas prices had been frozen but I guess that did not happen. The prices will stabilize after some of the panic subsides. There were quite a few people buying up fuel thinking they would not have another chance to get any and this demand drove the prices up in some places. We have all been touched deeply in ways we will never fully grasp. It is, as Betsy mentioned, a critical time for all of us to meditate, focusing on our inner reserves to creatively transform our fears into positive vision.

THANKS > There are lots of rumors flying about gas prices suddenly going through the roof, but at least from what I've heard on the news here, such is not the case, and any stations which suddenly pop their prices up a dollar or more are supposed to be reported for price gouging - the fine around here for that is something like up to $1000/sale!

Gas has only gone up 10 cents in my neighborhood. The show will go on as scheduled. We can't let the lunatics of the world intimidate us.
