And -- Washington DC.

-- there of course we have -- the White House in the CIA and and it went on right exactly dealt with the other pilots I was supposed to fly.

A certain -- avoided these out -- national treasures.

That's that's the of the reasons I just say it really is safe to -- and in your expertise -- and you watch -- are -- up are we down how to -- how -- errors up but if you can fly August 17 on the word until about October 4 there -- some sales going on right now on jetBlue southwest and many other airlines and adjusted for inflation air fares are lower than they were twenty years ago and real quickly if you wanna buy ticket I heard like the middle of the night on Tuesday night is the best times and I -- any moment of the of the of the week sign up for air for alerts Google the term air fare alerts and -- the a lot of people will send you free -- -- alert.
