Stuck in Seattle

When I retired from Continental Airlines in 1997 part of the Early Retirement Package was airline benefits. At the time it looked like a pretty sweet deal....unlimited Stand-by passes to anywhere Continental flew, but these days post 9-11 and airline financial woes, flying "Stand-by" is next to impossible! Looks like my son and I will be stuck in Seattle for awhile. Thank goodness we have family here to visit with.
