Hi Guys,
I figure I would toss this up here too, and we will see where we are at when the time comes. If you think you would be interested in tagging along for all or some of this, toss a note on this thread, and what parts you are interested in!
As most you know, I am located near Buffalo NY, and of course, will be planning to attend VOI-11. As of right now, we have been putting together some tentative plans, and we'll see what happens. Let me make this clear; the purpose of this trip is maximum fun, and maximum vacation attitude. We will not be beating ourselves up to get there a day early, or to get home in time to mow the lawn and do some chores. If you want to drive 1000 miles a day or get up at the Crack of Dawn's ass, find another group... not what we are going for.
I know that many of you are under insane amounts of stress, don't short change yourself, make this event even more memorable!
September 27th; Leave Buffalo, taking the Northern route across the country. Stopping at night will be intended to maximize site seeing as we cross the country. We MAY opt to leave as early as the 25th since it is a weekend anyway, but we will be flexible on this as some joining people from NYC area may need an extra day to get here by the 27th at the latest. Also, if you are shipping your car both ways and will be Car-Less after VOI but have the time off, post that up here, you never know if there is an empty seat, and you can hitch a ride or fly back sometime along the way!
September 30th; Arrive in SLC for VOI-11 the evening of the 30th. People who are shipping their cars in would be flying in approximately the same time.
September 30th-October 3rd; VOI-11 as planned.
October 3rd/4th, depending on VOI-11 Scheduling; Drive to Las Vegas, NV
October 3rd/4th-October 6th; 3 Days of R&R, Drinking, Gambling, and any other crazy activities that cross the mind in Las Vegas.
October 7th; Leave Las Vegas for the Grand Canyon, Lunch at Grand Canyon, then continue on to Albuquerque for the night.
October 8th-9th; From Albuquerque, continue across the country taking the southern route to Oklahoma City, and then Nashville TN as a nightly stop.
October 10th; Groups split off. Northern group heads north, Southern Group heads towards Florida.
October 10th/11th; Arrive in Northeast, Arrive in Central Florida.
NOTE: There is a small group of North Eastern guys who will be going to Florida, and staying for a 10 day additional Vacation, and then will be heading back North around the 21st.
