So, I'm surviving swine flu so far. And I *think* the family is starting to regain some health.

Gail, I know you're the only one actually reading this so I'm going to go ahead and use this forum to let you know how excited Sam is about Florida this year. He's obviously thinking about it a lot because he frequently says, out of the blue, things like, "when we go to Florida I can wear shorts and Croc's with holes again." and "Do you think Gail is making me a scarf this year?" and "I'm going to have my birthday in Florida!"

I'm not so psyched about getting there. Why is Florida so very far away?

It's like talking to yourself, but less informative and more frustrating.

Alex: Hi, I'm Alex, your continental.com Virtual Expert. Let me know how I can help you by typing in your question below.

You Asked: Hi, we plan on flying with our two kids down to florida. One of them will be a few days under two, but we plan on flying him as a lap child. He's a big kid, so I'm assuming we'll need some kind of proof that he's under two? What would suffice?
Alex: Children over the age of two must have a ticket and occupy their own seat. When booking your flights, be sure to select the correct number of children for each age available on the corresponding reservations page.
