Smile Re: So how are you getting to Atlanta?

oh, team 175 is so boring this year. We are flying out of Bradley at like 10:30 am Wednesday and flying back at like 10:30 am on Sunday. Last year we had to get up at 4:00 (or something like that) to get the flight home on Sunday. It was terrifying. When I woke our human player up... well let's just say there was profanity. It'll be nice not to get up at the crack of dawn this year.

Re: So how are you getting to Atlanta?

I flew last year, but i'm road tripping it with my Grand Cherokee this year. Most likely leaving aound 5am Wednesday for the 10 hour drive and leaving Atlanta around 7am Sunday. However, I may be leaving Tuesday in the late morning if my dad goes down earlier for work.

We look into a bus but it cost too much, so we are going by plane.

47 passenger charter (intercity Greyhound-type). Costs roughly $7000. Flying 30 people would be a few thousand more - and we had the possibility of 40+ people going this year. One benefit is that you have the bus available in Atlanta if you need it.

Re: So how are you getting to Atlanta?

15 passenger van, only the core students and mentors going.

Myself and one of our college students may be driving a truck down with some gear, leaving another mentor or two (hopefully two) to drive the van.

Unsure about hotel accomodations, but it'll be nice to be able to drive our stuff to the dome, rather than walking ~8 blocks with it (and Atlanta blocks are larger and hillier than philly blocks!).
