Travel Plans Updated

I'm worn out from being on the phone with NWA for 45 in order to change flights slightly in order to visit Grandma. My originally scheduled flight in on Wednesday actually worked out pretty well for my aunt to be able to take me out to see Grandma, then parents to take me to Minneapolis to see Rush, and a fellow con goer to take me to WisCon. However, I realized with previous calls that my crazy plan to skip the Minneapolis to Madison flight would get my return flight canceled. First guy was useless, his supervisor worse. Finally, I got to an actual reservations lady who knew how to work the system in the way I knew it could be, and the quoted difference went from $500 more to reasonable. Score. Now I can check in luggage (and bring books), as previous crazy plan would mean any luggage I checked in would maybe get to Madison, or be lost in the ether.
