Wax has confirmed time off, but because of the economic situation, we have to borrow money for the transatlantic flights from her mom (buying early, Finland to Kansas City is only about €700 apiece, which is I guess the second cheapest I've ever flown across the Atlantic; but then FinnAir has been slashing their prices kind of a lot recently, offering incredibly cheap deals provided you buy the tickets at the right time. Just trying not to go out of business, I guess). €1400 for both of us: that's why I've only seen my parents three times since 2004.

That's how much it cost just for me last time I went to visit my parents.

A transpacific flight uses quite a bit more gas than a transatlantic one, I'm afraid. There's no way it could be as cheap with the price of gas.

enh! That blows. My parents are on the opposite side of the country (east coast/west coast) and that's hard enough.
