Travel for Championship Qualifying Teams

[Carol]

We are planning on chartering a bus this year and leaving at 10:00 Tuesday night, on the theory that people will sleep through most of the ride (Dramamine works well for this..). It's only a little cheaper than flying for us since they have to change drivers on the way down. From Rochester I wouldn't be surprised that they might need three drivers. In Atlanta we aren't using the bus but taking MARTA.

If I remember correctly, some of the bus companies had a 2 week cancellation, so you could make the arrangements now and still have time to cancel if you don't qualify.

Thanks for the suggestions all, I will look into these.

As for the bus ideas, I know teams have done it, but our teacher & chaperones requested (probably more for their own sanity) that we not do the 16 hour bus trip (thats 16 hours without stops!) if at all possible. My guess is that we will just have to book what flights we can and hope that we have enough chaperones (all if we qualify of course).

If anyone has more ideas on airline transportation that late in the game, we would love to hear it!

instead of us flying this year, were takin coach busses and driving. yippe lol
