    Barb and Karla, what website are you looking at booking tickets? Just using expedia, depending on where we fly out of San Antonio would be $265-376 a person and Corpus Christi would be $367-522 a person. Driving for us looks like a 20 hour drive from Map Quest, but I haven't figured it out yet by looking at a map (sometimes Map Quest is not accurate). Lots of decisions to be made, but I would be interested to know what booking sites you guys use?

    Tracy,

    I was using Travelocity. Both are 26-30 hr drives. LOL Mapquest says 24 hr.....couple of hrs off!

    I just looked at Expedia and they are almost double the price of travelocity. i never knew there would be the much of a difference!

    I used travelocity and I like cheap tickets too. Tuesday is the cheapest day to fly so I'm going to be there early!

    Under 2 are free to fly if you hold them on your lap. If they are under 2 and you want them in a seat then you pay.

    I never bought a ticket either. I did buy Baby B'Air. It's a harness that goes around a toddler and attaches to your lapbelt so the child is more secure on your lap.

    Rental car companies usually have car seats you can rent. I was just looking at some of the airlines rules for carry on and such for children and on some airlines you can bring a car seat in addition to your luggage for no extra charge.
