Planning reconsidered, Return flight purchased.

After doing some more calling around, including talking to a couple rental car agencies, I found out it will be much more expensive to rent the car at one location and drop of at another, instead of the traditional return to pick-up location. Plus, I could find no direct flights from Albany to San Diego. All of them required multiple-stops, many required changing airlines!

I talked it over with Sandy and we've decided that rather than driving from Cooperstown to Albany to fly out, we'll just drive back to JFK. Which means we'll pick-up/drop-off the car at the same location. I did some searching and found a non-stop flight home from JFK to SAN on Monday on Delta. So that'll be nice. It was actually cheapest to get directly from Delta instead of Orbitz. In fact, had we purchased our flight into NYC from Delta we'd've saved ~$10 a ticket. Oh well. Too late to cancel the Orbitz tickets without penalty (more than $10) so we'll just leave it at Live and Learn. Total cost to fly home $328.80.

So now we need to nail down the NYC hotel and car rental.
