    Twistedcricket got the last SINGLE room, but there are still 7 non-smoking rooms left with 2 queen beds. Be sure and tell the motel you are with the FJR Owners group; they will probably still give you a discount.

    Flight Plan to CFO

    In a similar thread over in the EFO department, I posted this: In your cell phone, put a listing for "ICE", which is for "In Case of Emergency". This would be the phone number you want called In Case of Emergency. From Wikipedia

    Routing Delimma
