Is this a racing minivan? Maybe I should put numbers on my '89 turbo 5-speed Caravan.

Those of you that are bussing long distance, I am curious as to why. Was is a safety thing with the school district (yes, I know airplanes are safer than busses), or a cost issue?

I know that when we did the math on traveling from Massachusetts to Atlanta, it was significantly cheaper to fly than to bus.

I know at least for my team, that since we won the Palmetto regional and had one week to make arrangements, that to fly from New Jersey to Atlanta would cost approx $800 for plane and hotel. Thats a pretty hefty sum to come up with in a week. Instead we decided to take a coach bus down. While it will be an 17-20 hours bus ride , the cost was lowered the nicer sum of $355. This also allowed for more members to accompany the team to Nationals.

I think for our team (233) from florida it was cheaper to just bus and it sounded like fun. I'm looking forward to spending 8 hours on a bus with a bunch of pink people. What could be better than sitting next to someone who has pink hair, a pink face, a pink hat, a pink shirt, pink pants, pink shoes, and pink anything else you can think of . Pink is the best color of all, by far. Seriously though, chillin on a bus is way cooler than a plane cuz u can actually stand up and not get yelled at by a flight attendant, not to mention we can watch anime the whole way there on the tv screens. The airlines usually don't play anime on a trip from orlando to atlanta, at least from my experience.

btw, good call on the racing minivan Kit I think the caravan would make a great racecar if u put 233 all over it.

We will be leaving Killeen, Texas at 7 pm Tuesday for a 20 hour bus ride to Atlanta on a 40 passanger bus with only 14 people.
