An example was a recent shoot Sandy and I did in New York, pre 9/11. Our Victoria -- New York rt. was, $11,000 plus Cdn. Which I'm sure we could've had seats for a third of that amount easily, accept it was last minute "had to be there, period!" We flew business class and we were the only two sitting together and one other passenger. On the return a week a later "we were it!" in the complete business class. And now it must be worse after 9/11! ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
