    Well, no need for ME to tell you about it – not when my boss, Rick Seaney, has already written the be-all-and-end-all column on the subject – for ABCNews.com.

    Check it out by clicking here – that’s the Cliff Notes version – and you can go to the entire column from there if you like.

    Oh, there is also mention of the internet – and porn on planes.Thought that might get your attention.

    Okay, at first blush, it sounds crazy. But would I work for a crazy man?

    Well, sure. And I have. But Rick Seaney is not a crazy man.

    He’s actually got a pretty good idea here – and one that can save you a bundle. It could also save your sanity.

    So check out Rick’s idea, that he wrote about for ABC – Thanksgiving in October.

    At the very least, you’ll pick up some great “Thanksgiving Travel Tips” - no matter when you gather at Grandma’s house.

    Grandma Shoots Video on JetBlue Flight, Gets Arrested

    My goodness!

    A 56-year old grandmother videotaped what was apparently some minor altercation between a couple of passengers (and thanks, Chris Elliott, for all the details).

    Then, flight attendants asked her to delete it. She didn’t want to. She got arrested.

    Sound nutty? Sure does to us. Makes us REALLY wonder what’s on that videotape. Oh, wait — we’re about to find out. Apparently Grandma is going to be on ABC sometime soon — with her tape.

    Look at the dog on the left.

    Awwwwwwww!

    Now, just imagine if he was on a plane and something “happened to him”.

    Aiiiieeeeeeeeeeee!

    So don’t let anything “happen” — and you can start by reading Rick Seaney’s latest ABCNews.com column — it’s all about pets and flying — and if you pay attention, you’ll figure out the best way to transport your pup.

    The “best way” might be — leaving him at home.

    Or the mountains or the jungles or the deserts or what ever tickles your psyche when it comes to vacations.

    Yep, to heck with that dang gas crisis. Because according to Rick (uh, sorry, Mr. Seaney), you have to look at the overall cost of the vacation.

    And it looks like the price of some things is coming down. Like hotels. So read his column.

    Where am I vacationing? Outside. In a lounge chair. With trashy novels. Whoo-hoo.
