Any teams anticipating travel problems?

I hope you decide soon, so you can still get a flight before the competiton starts.

Not to mention the cost of tickets when you don't purchase far in advance.

Team 188 will be going to pittsburgh and atlanta this year, both by bus/car (mentor driven). Last year we almost couldnt make it to west michigan because of a moratorium that our school board had placed on all international field trips, but luckily this year that isnt the case. its particularly exciting for me as this is the first year i'll be going to championships.

A couple of words of advice:

1) at border crossing, have all the students awake and alert, just to save some hassle about checking id and everything else.

2) if you have any sort of fresh fruit in the car.. or anything like that, just eat it before you get there.. or make sure it has label of country of origin on there..a minor point, but mr b got stopped for about 20 minutes for this point. *rolls eyes*

3) portable radios are a good idea, just to be able to communicate between vans without having to worry about cellphone roaming charges etc.

feel free to add to it!
