We havn't looked recenly, but back in..2000 I think, there was a threat of a airline strike of some sort, so we made contingancy plans to take a bus to Florida for Nats. Apparently, it was only about 30% cheaper to take a bus vs the plane. And that whole 22 hour bus ride thing vs 2hr plane flight.

Anyway, 116 decided last night not to goto Na, The Championship, so there will be a Jeep rolling down from NVA with a few college students bound for Atlanta.

Hey Gui,
I think 1132 would be more than glad to take up the offer now...since we're in for the championship!
We were one of the few teams drawn in the lottery, and we signed up with 4 slots left! It was close!
We think we can get together the registration fees ok. We're gonna be in Atlanta! Woooooooooo! Watch out for RAPTAR eveyone! Ok, I just had to get that out of my system. Man, you just have no idea how rabid I've been acting... It's just too good to be true.

So, um, anyway... I guess I'm saying "Yes, we'd like some info" officially for our team. We have 13 students, and I don't think they all will be going, so a guess of a maximum 20-25 heads for our team would probably be accurate. (Parents, Mentors included)

Just let me know if you guys are still willing to give it a whack.
