Thanks for the advise. After listening to the evening news regarding the gas prices I went ahead and booked the airfare.

I can fly from either Newark, Atlantic City or Philly. I'm basially 45 minutes to 1-1/2 hours from the airport depending on which one. I checked all three airports and Spirit out of AC was definately the best right now. $220 per person. I don't think I'll do much better than that between now and Oct. I thought about waiting until Southwest or AirTran posted their fares for Oct. but even with their lower prices I still would have to drive to Philly (pain in the butt) and pay for parking. Between gas and parking I don't think I'd really save anything even if I chose a cheaper airline. AC has super cheap parking and they are the closest at 45 minutes from me. I think I'm just trying to assure myself I did the right thing!

Now that I've book my airfare it all seems real!!!
