Teleportation.

Or with my mom in her car. One or the other.

Re: So how are you getting to Atlanta?

I get to get up nice and early, leave my house around 3:00 AM so I can be at San Francisco Intl. by 4:00 AM.

I'm flying United, San Fran-Chicago O'Hare-Atlanta. As luck would have it I'm on the same flight as RAGE from O'Hare to Atlanta.

Re: So how are you getting to Atlanta?

I'm flying down, randomly, we all promise it wasn't planned, that I'm on the same plane Cory is on which is the same plane Rage [173] is on from Chicago -> Atlanta... That will be interesting.

Re: So how are you getting to Atlanta?

Alright I'll post mine now. I'm going to be driving down to Atlanta via I-95 (along with a bunch of the team's supplies!) on Sunday or Monday, and will be stopping at Washington DC for a day or two to do some touristing. The cherry blossoms should still be in bloom, and the Smithsonian should be fun. Almost everyone else from 228 will be flying down from LaGuardia with 1071 Max on Wednesday morning.

Just kinda curious, is anyone not flying/taking a bus?

Re: So how are you getting to Atlanta?

Flying on Delta Airlines: Departs Detroit Metro Airport at 5:34 PM, Arrives in Hartsfield Intenational at 7:34 PM. (Not bad for $218 round-trip - Flight home is 11:35 AM - 1:35 PM)

I'm not going to school Wednesday even though I could get out at the normal 2:25 PM and make it to the airport by 3:30 PM to make the 2 hour suggested arrival time, but... I figure I might as well get as much sleep as possible because I probably won't get much, if any, in Atlanta.

Not just a coach bus- a packed coach bus with team 1089 and a load of gear.

On the trip back from SC we had a bus accident. Who knows what will happen this time?

Re: So how are you getting to Atlanta?

We will be arriving at Atlanta Hartsfield Wednesday at 4:25 PM on AirTran. I remember seeing several other teams at the airport last year when we arrived (though I don't remember who they were now.) Any other teams arriving at about the same time that we can be on the lookout for?

Bus. Always entertaining, as we take the last 3-4 years of robot batteries and use them to power the laptops! Pulp Fiction for all!

Re: So how are you getting to Atlanta?

Weeeee...
Are taking a coach bus.
I am dreading this trip, to be honest. I'll be on a bus, with only 4-5 other girls besides myself, and...20, count 'em, 20 guys. AAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!! >_<; Wish me luck, people. Pranks will be roaming the bus.

I'm making sure I buy an iPod mini for myself and download every song I can get my hands on beforehand. Growl, that's going on my list for the weekend things to do.
