 I just took 4 Northwest flights last week, Calgary-Mineapolis-Tampa and back
absolutely the worst airline I've ever experienced.  They have a little box
by check-in, if your carry-on bag doesn't fit in it, they toss it in cargo.
Luckily I wasn't taking any guitars.
The Holland America cruise ship from Tampa-Grand
Cayman-Guatemala-Cozumel-Tampa was the total opposite.  Top notch!  Highly
recommended. Unfortunately, its back to work tomorrow.
