This year's international trip: Shanghai! American Airlines has an introductory fare offer going on. Unfortunately departing from Lubbock would add $600 to the ticket, so I have to leave from Dallas. Perhaps some kind soul in the DFW area will let me drive in the day before and stay overnight...I leave April 15 and return the 24th.
