Final CougarFest2K3 Caravan thread.....all attending please read and reply

[Sunni]

Ok all....since Fest is right around the corner, I need a way to keep track of everyone in the caravan....so..........please post the following information:


-Screen Name

-Real Name

-Where you are meeting the caravan (I am guessing everyone will be meeting us in Dillon, but I would still like you to post it)

-Where you will be driving from to meet up with the caravan

-Approx time it will take you to get from your location TO the meeting destination

-Cell phone number so that you can be contacted if you have not shown up, caravan is late/early, etc.

So it should basically look like this:

Sunni
Michelle
Meeting caravan in Dillon via Columbia, SC
Drive time to Dillon: 4 1/2 hours
555-555-1212


With this many people meeting up I need to have something easily available to me to see if we have all the members that are meeting with us in each spot. I would hate for someone to be running a half hour late, nobody else know about it, and we leave a member out to drive by themselves.
I would also hate to hear that you are running a half hour late though.........please be courteous to all the other members in the caravan and BE ON TIME!!! Also, I personally think it is very important for every car in the caravan to have a two way radio. When you re dealing with 10-15 cars driving together, it is critical that we can stay in constant communication, please pick one up if you can afford to do so.

I do not really have a problem posting my cell phone number publicly, especially since I think everyone should be sure to have it. If you do not mind posting it, please do so...although I appreciate you sending them via PMs, other members will not have access to it....this way a list can be complied prior to the trip and we all know sometimes one cell phone will get reception at a time or location when another wont. This way if you try to contact me when we are on the road and you cant reach me, you will have access to other members that you know are in the caravan. Make sense?

So........with all of that out there, hope to hear from everyone soon!

Mark,

You would be the only one we are piking up in Orlando, so if you want to pick a spot somewhere off of I4 to meet us, that would be great....make sure it is a place with coffe because I will be needing a refill ;)

I would say we will be to Orlando between 1:15-1:30a on Thursday morning.

Maybe you know of a gas station or something.....:shrug:

Glad you are able to make it though! :biggrin:

[Pinhy]

maybe if we are not NEEDING to stop in orlando, Mark could wait at an exit, then as we are getting close just drive up and get in line...

James, Rob and I did this once and James got out on the shoulder as we got close (using phone to keep it timed right), then just drove out in front of us as we get there...worked out great.

now if we are going to get coffee and stuff (noone better need gas that fast!) then disregard what i just said!! (as most of you have learned to do anyway!!) :rofl:

2 days 11 hours 24 minutes......!!!!!

[Instigator]

i will be bringing some walkie talkies and i posted my cell phone, ill be waiting at the super mcdonalds on i drive, when you guys get close call me.

if you want to stop ill wait or if you want me to jump in ill do that...

sound good?

[rob8100]

SWEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cant wait!!!
This is going to be awsome!!!!


Rob D:biggrin::thumbsup::cool::rofl:

[Sunni]

Mark,

If you could find a gas station somewhere, I will probably be needing to get some more coffee.





And for the record, nobody told me I was adding wrong.....I was thinking a 14 hour trip...leaving at midnight...we would get there at 4pm....who taught me how to add??????????? :banghead: We will probably be arriving earlier than that!

[BigCountry]

Your addition may be wrong, but I HIGHLY doubt we will make it before 4. If we are planning to meet in Jax at 4:30, and eat breakfast, then we wont get off until 5:30 or so. Plus, with this many people, stops will be more frequent and longer. Hey, this is supposed to be fun, so I am sure we will screw around and enjoy ourselves when we stop. Our stop in Dillon will probably take a good 30 minutes as well. That means the drive will take at least 10:30-11 hours. I would estimate that we arrive somewhere around 4:30-5, depending on when we leave from Jacksonville.

[rob8100]

Approx. 24 hours 30 mins before we leave Tampa!!!!!!!

[Sunni]

Just got an email from a guy named Dan in Brandon, have talked to him a few time via email since he was registered......said he is joining the caravan, meeting us here at the apartment tomorrow night! :)

[Pinhy]

21 hours 39 minutes

[BatCougar]

15 hours 52 min

[BigCountry]

3 hours 30 minutes........ Well, at least until I leave.

I just wanted to let you guys know, especially Michelle since she is so graciously planning all of this, that I wont be returning in the caravan. I am going to drive up to Philly for a few days afterwards. Peace out, and I will see you all in Jacksonville.
