Thank all of you so much for the information and recommendations! You have been very helpful.
I have not yet pulled the trigger on this trip. I have four different weeks to play with, and I have been looking primarily at airfares. It looks like $650-750 for each of us round-trip to Jackson. I have been so spoiled by car vacations, these are daunting numbers! I would also need a car rental and lodging, even the worst of which is more than $200 per night. However, I know it could be a once in a lifetime trip (definitely for me). If I get the nerve to commit to our flights, I will then bombard the Park website and phone lines to hopefully nab a cancellation for lodging at either end of the trip for 2-3 nights. I would also make a reservation for the whole trip in Jackson with a cancellation option to use as necessary to fill the other 2-3 nights of the trip. The other option is to wait until next year, but I'm pretty sure I won't be able to commit to dates until at least March again, so it will be the same problem...
If and when I do pull the trigger, I will probably get back to you all for actual itinerary suggestions. Again, thank you!
