Metro Detroit teams: I need a ride to IRI

[Jeff Waegelin]

Well, I had been planning to ride down to IRI with a friend from my team, but now it looks like that won't work, so I need a way to get down there. Are there any teams or teamless FIRSTers in the Metro Detroit area that can give me a ride down to IRI? I'm going to be refereeing, so I really need to get down there. Wouldn't want to disappoint our Woodie Flowers Award-winning head ref, would we?

If all else fails and you can't find a ride all the way down to Indy, I can take you from Chicago.

Hope that helps somewhat... a little out of the way, but the best I can do.

Thanks for the offer, Amanda, but I wouldn't want to make you go about 12 hours out of your way. I'll find someone closer. Thanks, though! I appreciate it.

a flight from Detroit to IND is only 7 minutes long! (I'm connecting there on my way to IRI Thurs 3:05 - 3:12... you should get in on it, Northwest airlines)

Jeff: Maybe Erin can pack you in her carry-on..

[Erin Rapacki]

I have no clue. Very funny, John. Hardy-har-har.

I know how long it takes to drive from Indy to Cincy, though.

What???

It was a perfectly innocent question... I'm thinking of flying down... really.

You expected going back in time to be cheap?

[Erin Rapacki]

have you thought about taking a bus or a train? I bussed all over the Northeast this past year (I had to), it wasn't too bad... and i'm sure somebody in Indi can pick you up from the station

this way you wouldn't have to rely on other people to give you a ride, then they have something come up... they couldn't drive you, and you'd be stuck again (like right now)

7 mins~ They will have to start the landing procedure before they even take off.

"uh. this is your captain speaking. We are now prepping for a landing in Indianapolis airport. We are still trying to warm up our engine, but I can assure you we don't need to lower our landing gears yet because we are still trying to taxi out to take off. According to the IND airport this weather is real nice over there. But if you really want to know, just stick your head out and yell really loud. Thank you for flying with our airline."

Okay... the topic seems to have diverged a bit. I'm still looking for a ride to IRI. Can anyone help me out?
