Advance notice for a visit

I'm going to be coming home, folks. Right now it looks like I'll be in town from Friday, July 1 to Tuesday, July 5, but my exact itinerary is still up in the air as I try to get the best rates. The problem is that stupid Air Canada decided to cancel flight 744 on June 30, which would have allowed me to leave the office at 1pm, and pay $460 for the flight. Now my only option for that kind of money is to leave on Thursday, take a connection in Vancouver at 11:30pm PT, and arrive at 6am ET. What a horrible red-eye. And I'm not paying $560 for the same flight the next day. Of course, the other option is to use my miles - the only problem is that I'd have to fly business class and use up 40,000 (vs. the normal 26,000) miles. Not a great option either.

I'll see how my wrangling with online booking works out. Anyway, see y'all later!
