How messed up is this? Opinions? -

I just found this story on the Washington Post website.A military veteran of the Korean War died at his home in Florida. He always wanted to be buried in Arlington National Cemetery, so the family honored his request. He was cremated in Florida and this his ashes, in an urn, were brought to Washington DC in a van that the family had rented. Whilst the van was parked on a street in DC, someone broke into the vehicle and stole a bag...containing the ashes of the deceased soldier.It take a moment a moment to load, but it s an incredible, not-so-happy story of a a man s dying wish being prevented because of some common criminal that was looking for some easy cash....http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/con��

I hope to God the bloody idiot brings it back once he figures out what he has. This is what happens when the economy goes to pot...more desperate acts by more people. I will pray the man is returned to his family and his wish is fulfilled. Thanks for the info!!!

Do you really need opinions on this? Of course it is horrible. On the other hand, I don t even leave a laptop computer in the trunk of my car when I park it on the street so I can not imagine leaving the urn of any family members ashes in the car.

wow that is mesed up i hope the doush who stole it returns it somewhere and the ashes are put where they should

that would really suck, I feel bad for the family. RIP

wow

sad screwed even is death

Is there anything interesting in South Carolina? -

So I wanna visit my friend in South Carolina, but my parents wont go without a reason. Is there anything cool down there? * I live in Virginia*I m planning on going for Winter Break. Thanks :)

I live in South Carolina. i don t know what part your friend lives in but Downtown Charleston is very beautiful and historic. we have a few beaches that are close by, it s a little cold for the beach now but it s still pretty! It s definitely a tourist town. There are kinds of tours you can go on like ghost tours, historic tours, or you can ride in a horse-drawn carriage ha. and if your mom likes to shop, King street has a ton of really nice stores. But yeah, just tell your parents about all that stuff.

Sounds like my parents haha- and we can never agree on places to go because NC is so boring (and we live in Charlotte- so the beach is too far for a quick trip and we hate the mountains (my parents love em ugh!). In any case, ya the beach is about it- Myrtle Beach and also Hilton Head- but I suspect that neither are any different than Va Beach- ive been to both and no reason to go out of your way really for them. You could try Charleston- its pretty cool, if your into history its got a lot including the first shots fired for the civil war. Hope that helps.

Uhhh....Where in South Carolina? I know that there s lots of beaches. I pass through there every year, and I notice (at/around I-85) that there s a good bit of lakes. Both would make for a good trip, but I don t see that happening in the winter. As far as I know, no mountains, so you couldn t go on a ski trip. I think a good website would be www.scnextdoor.com. I just checked it out, and it looks like it has some helpful travel info.

Cheapest flights to Cali from East Coast? -

I am traveling from east coast to college search (either April or Feb.) When is the best time of the week to get good prices? Which airline is the best for its price? I am staying with family, so hotels are not an issue. PLEASE HELP ME OUT SO I BOOK, THIS SUCCESSFULLY. THANKYOU.

Between which cities, please. That is rather important to know.Edit: Thanks for the cities. Bradley field turns out to be a reasonable place to fly from.For a flight from Feb 11 to Feb 18, I found these prices:. . . . . . Multiple American Delta Northwest Continental United. . . . . . Airlines Airlines 1 stop. . .$337. . . $355. . .$360. . . .$360. . . $378. . . .$3812+ stops.$381. . . $460. . .. . . . . . . .$659. . . $418. . . .$424You could do a bit better on the price, probably, if you left, say, Feb 8, or after Feb 18 or 19, since the time between is when many schools are on break (what a coincidence, huh?)I used www.kayak.com to get these results. Prices between most airlines were not that different (but US Airways, which I did not list, were significantly higher). Kayak does provide a fare history chart (look on the left side of the page for the link), so you can see what the prices have been doing in the past, and some projections for the future. That may help you in deciding when to book the flight.I do not know if prices will be higher if you wait until January, say, to make these reservations, or if they will be lower. Air fares change frequently, so, I would check them often, and buy them when they are at a price that is OK with you, and don t worry about the price after that.I did not look at April flights, but it is easy to do from the kayak site. From within the price group that you find reasonable, I would choose the flight the fits your specific dates and departure times best.Airline service can vary enormously within the same airline, the same day, depending on what kind of issues you run into, if any, and who happens to be on duty at the time.Good luck - hope you have a good time in San Diego - it will be a nice change in Feb. from the weather in Hartford.

there are quite a few sites that you can search that will likely give you the best prices available. check out the website BookMe and you will be able to compare prices on all the reputable travel sites in just a couple minutes. it s very convenient and will save you a bunch of time and money. Also, make sure you buy them online... otherwise they charge much higher fees for phone orders. good luck.

I searched on this site and got the Cheapest Flight,check it out,it also had discount coupon codes for expedia,orbitz,travelocity,kayak,priceli��http://freetravel4ever.blogspot.com

Use Orbitz or Kayak to compare prices. They may not list JetBlue, however, which can be cheaper.
