Re: Carpooling to Atlanta!

Would any of you teams (VA or otherwise, but VA especially so I can see if there's interest) be interested in chartering a bus to an event with another team or two, specifically Atlanta? Bus rental fees split over 50 or 60 kids and adults gets really cheap per person, compared to airfare.

What a great team building exercise that would be, though.
Good suggestion.
Several teams in NYC have already priced charter buses from NYC to Altantic, GA. Most teams only need only half a bus so teams have already began talking about sharing charter buses.
As the championship approaches, maybe it would a good idea to create a FIRST-carpool network of the East Coast team who want to participate. We are already estimating a savings of half if two teams share one bus for 5 days instead of flying from NYC!
US95 is going to be one busy highway...
