Wow! 2 years kid? So, did you get to spend anytime living together, or..

Nope. We've never lived together or anything. I've been down there a total of 3 weeks. 1st trip was one week (to get married/civil union) the other trip 2 weeks (came down with our son). It was our first time feeling what it's like to be a physically together family. He hasn't seen our son since he was about 5 months. Our son will be 15 months April 4.

It sucks but I've been sending lots of pictures and videos. I've been living under my own rock so I didn't realize that Skype was free.

Go directly to the airline's website. the search engines like expedia are good, but I always go directly to the airlines and see what they charge for the same flight. I know most of the search engines I have seen dont come up with the China Airlines flight I am looking at for my wife...or if it does, it is like 3-400 more!

Yeh, priceline seems to gouge you for international flights. I use them for my domestic ones but I always check the PAL or China air site directly. I hadn't checked to AK but LAX and SFO are usually pretty comparable on price from that part of the world. I only paid $1030 for my round trip air from here in Kansas to Vietnam last year though. China Air always has some kinda deal from SE Asia :)

AVR updated to reflect case completed status as of 03/23/2010.

I'm DYING to call and talk to an operator. :whistle:

If you look back a few pages today, I called the operator this morning and got no where. The same response that packages go out when interviews are scheduled and that I should call back April 16 when they schedule our May interview. I don't believe them tho.
