you must be reading my mind. I too today decided to go visit my daughter, maybe next week. Most the flights I have seen have been around $700, round trip. I figured a 5 day visit will be around $1200. I'm 4 weeks into PGN and trying to decide if I should go visit or wait it out.

Hopefully I can post this...it's cheapoair. They have great deals. We flew from Cleveland, Oh to Guatemala for $484/person (on US Air). We purchased about 5 days in advance. Good luck!

Have you tried Trent at Velocity tours?

Edited to remove specifics about a fee based adoption service. Please PM Julie for more information!

Good Luck!
Julie
