Columbus, Ohio. We were going to drive, but then decided to fly. We made our reservations and booked on an airline a couple of weeks ago. When I looked up the same flight last night the ticket price was more than double what I paid. I booked just in time, and I'm glad we are flying, because it will now be cheaper then driving.

Our the DU's planning on a meeting place?
