for most fans, they are blessed to see their favorite artist(s) perform live once in a lifetime. my parents, like many of their generation, took pride in buying what their parents and grandparents had had to make. this is my first flight since october and after all the issues and controversy about flying lately, i am hoping for an uneventful flight. the benefit of having lived here for so long is that we knew exactly what we wanted to do and we wasted no time in getting started.
