woot~ I'm seeing how fortunate we are now~ 2:30 - 3 hours in a car

Re: The bus leaves tomorrow!
 

I'll wave as well. Norfolk to Atlanta Non-stop. 12 hours by bus versus 2 hr plane. I'll take the plane.

Re: The bus leaves tomorrow!
 

3 am tomorrow morning! 15 hour bus ride! the thing is with our team... we picked the bus over flying cause we like the bus for some odd reason.

Re: The bus leaves tomorrow!
 

O.K. Out of curiosity, how in the world did discussion about flying to Atalanta get into a thread about riding a bus down there? :confused:

About 27 hours away from the bus trip to Atlanta, and I still have not gotten a bottle of Mountain Dew for the long trip.

Re: The bus leaves tomorrow!
 

26 hours approximately including border checks :D Gotta luv Canada :P

Re: The bus leaves tomorrow!

Some people just can't pass up an opportunity to gloat. :rolleyes:

Re: The bus leaves tomorrow!
 

My team will be leaving at 5 am from my school. 12 hour ride :D hopefully the bus shouldn't smell horrible :eek: but i'll be arriving to the site in time for uncrating

Re: The bus leaves tomorrow!
 

True...2 non stop hours on a plane beats 12 hours crammed in a vehical with a ton of people.

Re: The bus leaves tomorrow!
 

It depends on the people! Some people are worth spending 12 hours with, no matter what the transportation (heck, I'd spend 12 hours on a bicycle with Dean any day!)

In defense of all those taking the bus (I'm flying), it's not just two hours. It's getting to the airport, waiting in the airport, waiting in the other airport for your luggage, getting into Atlanta from the airport. Plus, how is everyone getting all their gear there? My trip is 2 hours by plane, but "travel" time is 6-7 hours.

Re: The bus leaves tomorrow!
 

Team 772 is now IN ATLANTA!!! I can see the Georgia dome from my room! And the most glorious thing of all... the Fairfield Inn has WiFi. I'd have pictures and stuff but, we're going to the mall in about 15 minutes so I'll do it after...

For the reference of those coming from Canada, we left Windsor at 4:30 AM (in vans), we were through the border by 5:30 and we arrived in Atlanta at 6:00 PM. We have a second group of people driving up tomorrow.

Re: The bus leaves tomorrow!
 

Yes, it's arriving at the airport parking place by 6:15am, at the airport by 6:30am for gorup check-in, flight doesn't leave til 8; long layover in Chicago; arrive in Atlanta by 5pm; hotel by 6? So 12 hours for us, even by plane! (and picture this - our plane leaves Atlanta on Sunday morning at 6:30ish!)

Re: The bus leaves tomorrow!
 

Getting back to the comparing of trips...

Twelve hour bus ride ahead of me, leaving at 6:30 tomorrow morning. It might not be quite as nice as flying, but we'll survive. At least we get to go. :)

Re: The bus leaves tomorrow!
 

OK. Maybe it's not just to gloat. :o I guess one-up-man-ship, I'll-see-your-tale-of-woe-and-raise-you works too. :p
