Thanks, all! Outbound flight is Delta, which I'm not worried about. We are going to roll the dice with LATAM on the way back. We got burned by Japan Airlines a couple years ago, which has an absurd...

The wife and I are headed to Chile in August and our return flight is code-shared through LATAM. We each want to bring a separate rig for touring and lifts, but LATAM's policy appears to permit a...

no law school in boise, although i would be going to UofI with the likelihood of ending up in boise-- i just gotta get through those 3 years first (this i'm hoping will be conducive to studying).
