Judy - glad to hear John continues to mend. It would be great if he's able to go back to work at the end of the month.
Agree with Peter re: connection time in Atlanta. Getting out of customs is the quick part. Going through security again to get to your connecting flight is a long, slow process.
We've bought tickets on Delta (I fares) lately for overseas travel months before we leave. Haven't had too much trouble with the flights changing times.
Cheers, Anne
