thanks for the good advice

It's easy to get caught up thinking of all the possible scenarios. But your advice hits home.

I had to revive the thread

Thank you

These replies are very helpful. Thanks.

One thing I forgot...I'm on track to be 9000 miles over. A buyout would alleviate that $1,800 issue.....
