I'm not Ed Wade's Travel Agent, but I'll Play Him on the Internet

Mr. Wade,

At your request, I have compiled some preliminary data on some of the cities you may be traveling to with regularity during the 2011 baseball season. As specified, I have included the price of a one-way ticket on Continental Airlines from each city to Houston's IAH on September 1, 2010. I have also included additional information about each city where it seems to be relevant to the parameters of your request. Please contact me if you need further information.

Sincerely,
Farmstros

Nashville (BNA) $265- 2 hour flight (Brewers affiliate since 2005) My wife and I visited Nashville a few years ago and it is a wonderful destination. However, two avid Astro bloggers reside in the Nashville area, so I would recommend keeping an eye out so that you can avoid them whenever you go to Herschel Greer Stadium.

Oklahoma City (OKC) $286- 1.5 hour flight (Rangers affiliate since 1983) There may be a few friendly faces in town, as OKC served as the Astros first AAA affiliate from 1962-72; however, rumblings are that the Red Hawks aren't that impressed with what you are doing right now.

Portland (PDX) $564- 4 hour flight (Padres affiliate since 2001) There is another blogger in Portland who would be very excited if you were visiting his town often. However, as you know this Portland destination is moving after the season. (probably somewhere in California)

Las Vegas (LAS) $258- 3 hour flight (Blue Jays affiliate since 2009) Flights to Vegas were the cheapest of all non-stop options. However, I'm sure the Blue Jays general manager can tell you that he only visits there now because he ended up with the short stick in 2008.

Albuquerque (ABQ) $355- 2 hour flight (Dodgers affiliate since 2009)
Colorado Springs (COS) $310- 2 hour flight (Rockies affiliate since 1993)
Omaha (OMA) $446- 2.5 hour flight (Royals affiliate since 1969)
Reno (RNO) $144- 6 hour flight with stops (Diamondbacks affiliate since 2009)
Sacramento (SMF) $534- 3.5 hour flight (Athletics affiliate since 2000)
