Well, I was lucky to have booked w. Southwest and ended up with credit since the flights were less after Christmas and still got the same hotel no charge extra... now, if I can get those days off from work will be the problem since everyone has put vacation bids in for the new year... crap! At least I will see them once having to travel across the country and calling in sick if I have to. I had a feeling this tour would run into complications traveling around the country in the winter with this extensive stage setup...that's why I chose SD with good weather. But still got caught in a postponed date. Guess we'll see how the northern cities do later.
