That's why you buy a second, unrelated return ticket which is what we 
did.  In those days a round trip was normally priced cheaper than 
separate tickets but the had just opened up a new route and was pricing 
it ridiculously cheap.  I bought a round trip ticked to Portland from 
Tampa and a one way from Minneapolis to Tampa and it was less than the 
round trip from Tampa to Mn and back.

And I suspect the cancelled my return from Portland but I didn't care.
