Re: How does your team travel to the championship?

This Year Team 379 is Driving down to Atlanta from Ohio. The team usually flies down but this year going to the Championship was a big surprise. We didn't know until last Thursday the 13th, that A state politician was going to fund us to go all thanks to the help from team 48. When GM was our corporate sponsor they provided a van for the GM advisors to travel in with our stuff. Since the loss of them, Team 48 has graciously carried our tools down with them in their trailer. Thanks again. This year we will be traveling by coach bus and it will take 11 hours and 35 minutes to get there. We will be stopping through the night for breakfast and rest stops. Also to factor in if there is any construction or accidents it will take probably 12-13 hours. We are departing our high school Tuesday night and will get to Atlanta sometime Wednesday morning or early afternoon. This way may be more of a long haul but considering you have to take the MARTA to travel down there or walk it's convenient to take a bus. We were unable to see some sites because the MARTA didn't travel there so this year we will get to go to places like Stone Mountain and stuff.
-Can't wait, Hope to see everyone there.
