Back to work, posting comments, and where are you, D.B. Cooper?

We're back from a long, healthy break and on the hunt for travel news. Several comments, including one of the longer ones we've posted, have been added in response to Monday's column. They can be found at the end of the next item down on this page.

Cooper the apparent psedudonym of a hijacker of a Northwest Airlines flight in 1971 who parachuted out of the plane and disappeared. Songs have been written about the legend of D.B. and you can learn more in the AP story in the link.
