No. I can't grow wings. Tried it. Jumped. Landed hard.

No, but seriously...

I'm going into the Marines come late February. I'm doing all I can to visit everyone I can before I go. I've gotta get to Michigan, Ohio, and Arizona. Michigan and Ohio...I can spare 20$ for gas to drive my honda there, but the trip to Arizona...I've done it. It sucked. And I'll NEVER do that **** again...

So I'm looking for cheap way to fly.

1) Anyone got a hookup?
2) Anyone know of a cheaper way to fly? (**** grayhound...and AmTrak = $$ + time)
3) Anyone had real good luck of catching like...travelocity/expedia, whatever?
4) Any of those I should avoid?
5) Any ONE of those the better for any certain reason...?

Thanks, all!
