Flight prices are still cheap compared to driving. I'd book ASAP.

Better start walking. From VT that would be about like hiking the Appalachian Trail! I've got my room bookek. I'm still deciding on flying or driving. Airfare is about $300 right now. It is only a 6 hr drive for me but my truck will take 50 gallons of gas to get there and back. So how much do we think gas will be in Sept? There there is parking at the hotel. On the MACNA website it says parking is discounted but the hotel can't tell me what the discount rate is. The normal rate is $19 a night. Flying is looking like a good deal! MARTA from the airport is only $2 and it is easier to fly with my scooter than to drive and deal with the hassle of unloading it.

My sis is working for American but won't have Buddy Passes until October. She is supposed to be trying to get me one for MACNA from a friend who works there but they have terrible schedules from Raleigh. As in driving is faster!

Since my wife is totally uninterested, I'd be willing to split a room with some one as long as its two doubles! I would feel uncomfortable sharing a bed with a strange dude...check that...any dude, not necessarily just a strange one.

Seriously though, if any one is interested in saving some $$, heres my stats:
-I'm a non-smoker
-I'm quiet, a non-snorer,
-I'm considerate
-I'm hiegenic (as in don't smell)
- I like bowling
- My favorite Nascar driver is Mark Martin

That about covers it.

My hubby probably won't make it. There is a possibility that I have another roomie but I'll put my info out just in case.
*I'm a non smoker (but I think the whole hotel is non-smoking)
*I like to talk
*I usually don't snore
*I have been know to stay up half the night on TR
*I used to like to bowl
*I plan on bringing my scooter. I don't need it in the room but it will be parked there.
