 ====== Transportation ======
+Flying directly to Alicante might be an option, but it means you'll have to fly somewhere else first (like Madrid, London, Frankfurt, Copenhagen or some other hub).  Could do a direct flight to a hub, stay a day or two and then continue on or just plow through the two flights in one LONG day.  Here are the airlines that service Alicante Spain: [[http://www.skyscanner.com/flights-to/alc/airlines-that-fly-to-alicante-airport.html]]
   * Airfare (assuming the dates July 13th to July 28th (Tuesday to Tuesday))

     * December 2009
-      * Dulles (DC): United Airlines is $1050 direct (Aer Linugs is now $1400) (I think it is the same airplane, times are the same)

+      * IAD -> ALC (via Madrid): American Airlines $1192
+      * [[http://www.aireuropa.com|Air-Europa]] HAD good rates (see table below) but now are as much as everyone else.  I was going to suggest mega-bus + Air-Europa for Buff / Brian but not now!
