Team 980 is arriving throughout Wed and Thurs. Two mentors (volunteers) booked flights arriving Wed. evening before the team came off of the waiting list last Thurs. A few students and a mentor are on a red-eye, arriving Wed. morning. A few more students and a mentor are arriving Wed. night. One of our students is diverting from an East Coast college tour to join us on Thurs. afternoon.

I guess you might say that there will be a Team 980 convergence in Atlanta next week...except we're not all in the same hotel.

I guess I'll wear my team shirt in some form or another on Wednesday when I fly in from CT to ATL since I'll be wearing my Volunteer shirt the remainder of the extended weekend.

Pretty good Cory. That's what we're flying on.......
I just envy those teams that pull up at the main entrance to the GWCC with either a greyhound or trailer (costwise).

Yep, direct flight to Atlanta from Honolulu on the newly branded Delta 747-400. Arrive at 5:35 am which is equivalent to 11:35 pm. We're going to be zombies on Wednesday!

I feel for 3105 from the Philippines who are coming from a time zone 12 hours ahead of Atlanta. That's got to be some major jet lag...

wow!! so i'm guessing thats after the delta northwest merger haha wow so i wonder if maui high's going to fly to oahu and then to georgia?

[Nawaid Ladak]

We have folks connecting from Seattle to Atlanta via...

Denver, CO
Minneapolis, MN
Washington, DC
Charlotte, NC
Dallas, TX

... over the course of three days. Fun stuff.

[Nawaid Ladak]

that so reminds me of the those map scenes on "The Amazing Race"

"All teams will depart Seattle and will connect at either, Washington DC. Dallas, Denver, Charlotte, or Minnianappolis. These teams will then proceed to arrive in Atlanta GA within 3 days of each other"

btw, i think i'ts time somebody started a "what i should bring to atlanta 09" thread... i'll start packing tomorrow

Safety Glasses
Jacket and Raincoat/Umbrella
Pair of comfortable long pants
Pair of comfortable shorts
A few t-shirts
Some extra spending money if you want
Camera
Comfortable shoes

Just a note about Atlanta weather, it's really crazy. I live in Atlanta, and this past Monday it snowed, Thursday it was in the 70's, last night we had hail/tornadoes. Be prepared for anything.

Team 1923 will be arriving in Atlanta from Newark Wednesday morning, around 10:30. Leaving Sunday morning at 7:15. Maybe we'll see some of y'all!

[Rosiebotboss]

I'll be "flying" down 81 to 77 to 85 in the BUZZ truck!

NEMO has a great thread titled "The Contents of a NEM's Travel Bag or Suitcase". I don't think it's made it to the Resources section yet as a resource paper.
