Great post!! I'm planning a trip to Newark, DE for my neice's college graduation. (UDEL) I have to fly and was wondering about traveling with Prince. One major concern...Prince is exempt from vacs because of his severe reaction to them. He uses topical heart worm preventative, but that's it. I do have a letter from the vet, but I'm not sure if that will be enough. We cannot let him get vacs, just for the flight. (I would end up missing the grad if he got sick like he had twice before). If worse comes to worse, my hubby would stay home with Prince.
We'll have to fly from ATL to PHL, then take a bus from Philly to Newark (DE). I think it takes about two hours on the bus, and I'm not sure if dogs are allowed on the bus. I remember reading about a lady in Tampa who was thrown off Greyhound because she had a dog! (How ironic is that...Greyhound)! I could rent a car, that would probably be easier and I have a GPS.
I'll make some calls this week.
I get a headache thinking about all of this.
