So how are you getting to Atlanta?

[artdutra04]

With the Championship less only 10 days away, how are you going to get there? Here's some choices:

Walking all the way!
Better charge the batteries, it's Segway time!
The wheels on the bus are goin' round and round, to ATL, to ATL!
Amtrak, becuase I always loved cross-country train trips!
Got car, will drive
Flying. How else?
Atlanta? What's Atlanta? AM I MISSING SOMETHING?


I'll post mine later! :)

[Koko Ed]

Flying Airtran.
Wish us luck.

[kjohnson]

You should make this a poll....

We're flying into Atlanta from Newport News Wednesday afternoon.

[Alex Pelan]

[Eugenia Gabrielov]

Flying...not sure what flight or what time. We arrive early afternoon Wednesday.

[Ali Ahmed]

We're flying over, a redeye on Tuesday night. Loads of fun.

[Daniel Brim]

Due to a miscommunication, our team is split going to Atlanta.

First group: Flying out of here around 3:00 PM Wednesday, they'll probably get there around 11 PM or so.

Second group (with me): Flying out at 12:45 AM Thursday, getting there around 10:30 AM. I hate the redeye :(

[Bridgette]

We're taking a bus...leaving 6-7 PM on Tuesday night, should arrive in Atlanta around 2-3 PM on Wednesday.

[Kyle Love]

Were taking the "Wildkat" bus Wed. morning around 6 or 7 I would guess. We should get there by early evening.

[Wetzel]

I *think* I am riding with 116 on their team bus. :/
Still unsure where I am sleeping Wednesday->Friday. :confused:

Wetzel

[Alex Cormier]

we are flying down to ATL. and a few of us (myself included) will be boarding the plane with our luggage so that we don't have to wait for our luggage so we can go unpack the crate since our plane leaves here at 5:30 and will arrive around 7-8? so that doesn't leave us much time to unpack.

[Ted Boucher]

Team 237 will be taking a bus to LaGuardia Airport in NYC and then flying out Wednesday afternoon on Air Tran to Atlanta. We will be flying back Sunday to LaGuardia Airport and taking a bus back to Watertown.

[DarkJedi613]

Flying - Airtran Wednesday evening - 6:59 flight

[Billfred]

Teleportation.

Or with my mom in her car. One or the other.

[Sakura141]

Cardinal Bus...

The wheels on the bus go round and round with Dan and his Irish Drinking song!!! ;)

[killerofkiller]

it's BUS TIME AGAIN! leave arround 7ish wed night stop at ihop or somewere at arround 6ish to get burgers, then to the dome baby!
yep time to charge up the ipods, laptops robot batteries (to power the inverters) and the PSP's for nonstop gaming action!

[Steph]

1006 is driving... some of us are leaving wednesday morning bright and early, the rest of the team is leaving wednesday after school. 18 hours of team bonding, goody! Haha, it should be interesting to say the least...

[Cory]

I get to get up nice and early, leave my house around 3:00 AM so I can be at San Francisco Intl. by 4:00 AM.

I'm flying United, San Fran-Chicago O'Hare-Atlanta. As luck would have it I'm on the same flight as RAGE from O'Hare to Atlanta.

[dez250]

I'm flying down, randomly, we all promise it wasn't planned, that I'm on the same plane Cory is on which is the same plane Rage [173] is on from Chicago -> Atlanta... That will be interesting.

[artdutra04]

Alright I'll post mine now. I'm going to be driving down to Atlanta via I-95 (along with a bunch of the team's supplies!) on Sunday or Monday, and will be stopping at Washington DC for a day or two to do some touristing. The cherry blossoms should still be in bloom, and the Smithsonian should be fun. :cool: Almost everyone else from 228 will be flying down from LaGuardia with 1071 Max on Wednesday morning.

Just kinda curious, is anyone not flying/taking a bus?

[KTorak]

Flying on Delta Airlines: Departs Detroit Metro Airport at 5:34 PM, Arrives in Hartsfield Intenational at 7:34 PM. (Not bad for $218 round-trip - Flight home is 11:35 AM - 1:35 PM)

I'm not going to school Wednesday even though I could get out at the normal 2:25 PM and make it to the airport by 3:30 PM to make the 2 hour suggested arrival time, but... I figure I might as well get as much sleep as possible because I probably won't get much, if any, in Atlanta.

[Brian Lesser]

One word...

Bus...

yup. Our team is going to take a 12 hour drive from Chicago to Atlanta...

(where the players play)

[Wayne C.]

Coach bus. Leaving our school at 230ish Wednesday afternoon. Arriving at Atlanta, anywhere from 4-7 am Thursday.


Not just a coach bus- a packed coach bus with team 1089 and a load of gear.

On the trip back from SC we had a bus accident. Who knows what will happen this time?

WC

[Greg Ross]

We will be arriving at Atlanta Hartsfield Wednesday at 4:25 PM on AirTran. I remember seeing several other teams at the airport last year when we arrived (though I don't remember who they were now.) Any other teams arriving at about the same time that we can be on the lookout for?

[GateRunner]

Bus. Always entertaining, as we take the last 3-4 years of robot batteries and use them to power the laptops! Pulp Fiction for all!

[Dorienne]

Weeeee...
Are taking a coach bus.
I am dreading this trip, to be honest. I'll be on a bus, with only 4-5 other girls besides myself, and...20, count 'em, 20 guys. AAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!! >_<; Wish me luck, people. Pranks will be roaming the bus.

I'm making sure I buy an iPod mini for myself and download every song I can get my hands on beforehand. Growl, that's going on my list for the weekend things to do.

:ahh: :ahh:

[looneylin]

Like Billfred said, teleportation! With the combined powers of our robots, we can teleport! :D

[Pat Fairbank]

Coach bus direct from Montreal. Leaving Tuesday around 4-5 PM, arriving Wednesday around 4-5 PM.
The bus' built in 6000 watt inverter + 1 wireless access point + 7-8 laptops and tablets + a 24 hour bus ride = LAN PARTY!

[Laura 1547]

some of our team is flying down wednesday night but the rest of us is flying down Delta on thursday afternoon from Toronto...im not sure what flight it is or if its connecting though!

[Chris Sturrock]

groan...

coach bus...

from niagara falls ontario

14.5 hours... without stops...

basically a 15 to 16 hour trip... maybe longer...

oh well it will prove to be wuite fun!

I will make sure...

[Alex Pelan]

I don't quite count as a team, but my flight should be arriving in at around 4:05..and in theory I'm wearing bright yellow.

[team222badbrad]

Unfortunately, this year I will be getting to Atlanta via Internet and computer, and also by phone communications.

I am breaking my 5 year in a row Championship attendance this year.

SO disappointed! :(

Greg, Myself, Dez, and all of RAGE arrive at 4:45. We're in Terminal T. Looks like you're in C, so we might see each other in baggage claim.

I don't think you'll have any trouble spotting us :p

well, RAGE has new black travel shirts, so you won't see those too quick, however, the pack of 40 or so people will do it....and some red hair, and that tall ugly kid....ogre is his name i think?:p

[Anne George]

Well ill be flying.
Manchester to Pittsburg then Pittsburg to Atlanta ill be getting in around 526 then hanging out in the airport till my roomies get there a couple hours later!

[Ricky Q.]

Cooney Quest (#269) is flying in from Milwaukee to Atlanta around 9:30 Wednesday night.

I am leaving Madison, WI (with a load of 269 gear) around 1 on Wednesday...meeting the rest of my "entourage" (guess who that could be) in Indianapolis and then we are off. Getting into Atlanta early Thursday morning.

[D.J. Fluck]

Im leaving West Lafayette at 3am Thursday to get to the airport, Flying out of Indianapolis on AirTran at 6am, landing at 8:40 (losing an hr because of the time change), get off the plane, run to the MARTA station, take the train to the hotel, drop off the bags, get back to the MARTA, take it to the Georgia Dome and hopefully get there before practice matches start.

[Atasuke768]

My team's leaving on the 20th from Maryland and hope to get to Atlanta
at night. We might not make it before the Pits are open 6:00 p.m. through
9:00 p.m. :cool:

[AGadgetGeek]

I >LOVE< your flight number.

[SamC]

I believe my team (330) is leaving Wed. morning/noon from LAX with AirTran. But i'm not really sure! For all i know we're walking from LA! :ahh:

[KathieK]

AirTran has some good last minute sales but I think they have to be purchased by April 4, 2006. Check the web for good last minute deals.

[JamesBrown]

Bus with 121

20 hours drive from RI to ATL it should be fun :rolleyes:

[Arefin Bari]

Looks like its going to be another great roadtrip with Tytus.

[oaktown1188]

team 1188 is taking the bus all the way down!!


yeah for bus rides!

[chinckley]

team 1188 is taking the bus all the way down!!


yeah for bus rides!

What kind of bus?
How much does it cost (roughly)?

[Dan Petrovic]

Bus from Merrimack to Boston then Delta flight from there to Atlanta.

[ScoutingNerd175]

oh, team 175 is so boring this year. We are flying out of Bradley at like 10:30 am Wednesday and flying back at like 10:30 am on Sunday. Last year we had to get up at 4:00 (or something like that) to get the flight home on Sunday. It was terrifying. When I woke our human player up... well let's just say there was profanity. It'll be nice not to get up at the crack of dawn this year. :)

[KTorak]

I flew last year, but i'm road tripping it with my Grand Cherokee this year. Most likely leaving aound 5am Wednesday for the 10 hour drive and leaving Atlanta around 7am Sunday. However, I may be leaving Tuesday in the late morning if my dad goes down earlier for work.

[sheltie234]

We're taking a charter bus from Indianapolis, making it a long trip. Wish us luck!

[thatphotochick]

charter bus for 1038 as well. we always take a charter, same charter, same bus, same driver...we just always switch the hotels and students lol. yay for 10/11 hours on a BUS!

[Freddy Schurr]

We look into a bus but it cost too much, so we are going by plane.

[GaryVoshol]

What kind of bus?
How much does it cost (roughly)?47 passenger charter (intercity Greyhound-type). Costs roughly $7000. Flying 30 people would be a few thousand more - and we had the possibility of 40+ people going this year. One benefit is that you have the bus available in Atlanta if you need it.

[Joe J.]

862 will be taking a charter bus the whole way down.

[Melissa Nute]

Flying in on Wednesday on Delta.
Meeting up with my old team, 86, that night. They are taking a bus up.

[Dillon Compton]

15 passenger van, only the core students and mentors going.

Myself and one of our college students may be driving a truck down with some gear, leaving another mentor or two (hopefully two) to drive the van.

Unsure about hotel accomodations, but it'll be nice to be able to drive our stuff to the dome, rather than walking ~8 blocks with it (and Atlanta blocks are larger and hillier than philly blocks!).

[Pat Fairbank]

Same as last year:
Coach bus direct from Montreal. Leaving Tuesday around 4-5 PM, arriving Wednesday around 4-5 PM.
The bus' built in 6000 watt inverter + 1 wireless access point + 7-8 laptops and tablets + a 24 hour bus ride = LAN PARTY!
