SPENT $1300

Yesterday afternoon I spent about 2 hours on the Internet, researching flights, motels and car rentals. I came up with the cheapest of each one, and booked a flight from San Diego to Minnesota at Christmas time, actually on the morning of the 24th. I found a cheap compact car, and then picked the least expensive of the motels for our week long stay. Flight - $700; car - $200; motel - $400; time at home with grandkids - PRICELESS.
