The only information that I see missing is a deadline for the RSVP.

I would like to give a final count for the food a couple of days before the event, but if you need to more last minute than that we can work it out. Shoot a pm to me or Taz if you are interested in coming so we can include you in a preliminary head count. Thanks. Hope to see you there.

I am a little far but would not coming over for a visit as long as I do not need to RSVP from now . it will be a hike for me so let me know what you guys think

You know you want to come Nick

 

[papasmurf]

You know you want to come Nick

You know it .

I have even gotten Maria "the wife" wanting to go . The only thing stopping me is cost and time of getting there . I am looking at buses trains and planes but...

The plane is 3 hours and double the price of the train. The train is 11 hours and double the price of Grey hound. Grey hound is 12 hours and the cheapest way to get out there . but that means my travel time will be 24 hours for the round trip . I am trying to weigh what would be my best bet to come and if it will be worth it for me .

After bus and hotel it will cost me $400 not including meals and entertainment . of course while at a place like this I will have to buy some thing or trade some thing . so that brings up my cost a little more

on the other hand I can just say this is my Birthday present since it is only 12 weeks after the event . ah What to do ? what to do ?

I guess I have some thinking but I am closer to coming then not coming .



Nick

 

[AaronX]

Well I'd most likely come since I'm only 3 hours away in Fort Wayne, IN and I'd like to meet some of you guys... that and I don't have an excuse if Nick is willing to travel 12 hours one way to get there.

Somehow I have a feeling driving is not an option for you. That would be about an 8 hour trip for you going that route. I 80 is good road at least most of the way and quite scenic. Train would drop you off in Cleveland and you would need to arrange other means from there.

I can drive to the event but I rather not . I would probably waste more on gas then I would like to admit also I have been thinking of renting a car to do the drive .


I have been talking it over with Maria and I think I will end up coming alone as If we take the train plane or bus she will have to miss 3 days of work .



Still weighing out my options right now it is about 75% that I will be there

Bad news Gents

My wife can not take off from work for those days so she can not attend .






Good news My chances of coming just shot through the roof .I am 99.9% sure that I will be coming unless we have any unforeseen event .
Once I find out how many days I will be staying I will send out payment for my meals.
