Thanks for the offer, Ditchdocdiver. What a selfless act. I'm sure if they had thought to get an extra ticket, it would have been yours, for sure.
They are on their way to AC now, and I feel great knowing I have so many friends there who will help keep an eye on them. Especially SIN...he's my hero of the week.
Thanks to all of you for your input. I'll let you know how they fared when they return home.

Live so that when you arise in the A.M, Satan shudders & says..
'Oh sh t..she's awake!'
