Re: How does your team travel to the championship?
Although the thread was started in 2005, most of the replies seem to be 2006
.http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...anta+bus+hours That might be a useful reference in finding info on other teams. To repeat from that thread, 461 will leave Wednesday at 1 PM and travel by bus, and then leave ATL right after closing ceremonies Saturday and travel back to Indiana. |

Re: How does your team travel to the championship?
The Martians usually send a group of people, it used to be a family, this year it is two mentors, really early on Wednesday morning with our trailer full of tools and all of the teams luggage. Then the rest of the team flies down that night and we meet the group with our luggage at our hotel.

Re: How does your team travel to the championship?
Just for fun, I went into Mapquest and did a "driving directions" from Sammamish Washington to Atlanta. It's 2,668 miles, and they estimate just about 39 hours of driving. I think if we ever go to Championships it will be by plane. Or, more to the point, even if the team goes by bus, I'm going by plane.
I still think Denver would be better... |

Re: How does your team travel to the championship?
The Holy Cows will be departing San Diego late Tuesday, stopping in Chicago for a couple hours and then arriving in Atlanta Wednesday morning. The luggage will be loaded into a Chevy van that we're renting for the trip and the team will go to the hotel via MARTA. After resting, we'll do some sight seeing and send our advanced crew in Wednesday night.
We'll be leaving Atlanta 7:30 AM Sunday, stopping in Denver and arriving in San Diego around Noon or 1PM. |

Re: How does your team travel to the championship?
We're from San Diego, so we're going by plane. We're leaving Tuesday to get in Wednesday and then relax until Thursday. But I'm going to have to fly home on Sunday because of AP Testing on Monday morning. >.<
I'm kind of bummed because last year a lot more from our team got to go and then we also got to take the MARTA. But we're renting vans this year to get to the Georgia Dome. I'm going to miss taking the MARTA, it's so fun, haha. |

Re: How does your team travel to the championship?
Most of Team 228 is flying out of LaGuardia on Wednesday afternoon. However, since one of the students on our team cannot fly, he is taking Amtrak from the train station in our hometown to Atlanta. Once at the airport in Atlanta, we are going to take MARTA to the hotel, as well as for general travel around the city.

Re: How does your team travel to the championship?
Last year we flew to Atlanta, and got discounts on the flights from the Independence Airline. Unfortunately the airline is gone bankrupt and this year we were not able to fly; while at the same time we faced financial obligations too. So showing our spirit of GRACIOUS PROFESSIONALISM Team 612 will be sharing a bus with Team 614 (thank you guys). I wander if there are any other teams who are sharing a bus?
We will leave Northern Virginia around 5 pm Wednesday evening and will be at Georgia Dome around 7 am. As its 14 Hour long trip, we are planning to watch LOTR, while at the same time talk about the championship and stuff..... any suggestions.......pm me. We will be leaving Atlanta right after the social and will travel all night to be in Northern Virginia around 8 am. And on the way back.........don't even ask...we have two Birthdays to celebrate; one before midnight and one after midnight.. ![]() |

Re: How does your team travel to the championship?
862 will be taking a charter bus straight from Canton to Atlanta, Leaving Wednesday 6am ~13 hour trip.
We did the same thing in 2004 and after 6 hours of James Bond movies the whole bus broke into a huge rubber band war! For some reason our mentors prefer to fly instead of riding the bus with us. ![]() |

Re: How does your team travel to the championship?
We're riding to Atlanta on a sleeper bus (which is really nice, there are booths with tables that change into bunks)-it's about 14 hours from Austin to Atlanta. We went to nationals two years ago, and our hotel was downtown, so the bus had to be parked about a mile away from the hotel. I'm curious to see how that plays out this year.

Re: How does your team travel to the championship?
I think a bus, but I am not completely sure. We might drive down in our own cars.
