Haaa, so THAT's why I originally wrote "riding". Then I thought "what the hell, I'm not going by horse" and replaced it with "driving" >.>

Oh. My idea of a reasonable driving distance is six hours, but that's when I would be driving myself and perhaps a car full of sleeping people on a highway that pretty much goes the entire distance to where I'm headed. Twelve hours is okay when tag teaming with someone. Any more than that, and I prefer to fly (flying would probably also be cheaper too

).

I dunno who all else is going from TTG but I'm sure a TTG lunch/dinner will be in order. I'm sure I will be eating lots of times so anyone and everyone is invited to eat with this TTG web monkey.

I will make good on my promise, don't ye worry I'm a man of honor. You can ask TomP

Yes, it will be and I shall hopefully be planning the lunch dinner thing when we all know who will be there.

No, I looked it up.

5 tanks of gas at $35-$40 per tank = $200
A motel room with my AAA discount is $75 for the night i spend on the road.
So $300 to travel with food and that's cheaper then the cheapest flight at $375 round trip plus a rented car that I found.

I want a car so I can do other stuff at night.

Alcoremortis · 06/29/2010, 12:29 pm

I looked up the pricing from where I live and it would cost nearly $900 dollars by car (four gallons of gas each way plus motel and food) and only a little over $500 by plane. Of course, with a carpool, the car would definitely win either way. And San Rafael would be a much more doable trip--you could probably make it to Seattle without stopping overnight.

I plan on crashing in Portland and getting an early start the next day actually. Already all planned.

Avistew · 06/29/2010, 02:18 pm

In my case, when I compared options taking the bus meant walking to the bus station, climbing in, getting out in Seattle and walking to the con. (I'm simplifying because there is a transfer, but that's just getting out and back in).
Taking a plane meant walking to the bus station, taking a greyhound to the city, then two buses to the airport, then the plane, then find a way from the Tacoma airport to the convention centre.
Oh, and also much more expensive (About 150% the price. International flight and all of that).
Not to mention I dislike airports. I like flying but airports... Getting there hours ahead of time and then waiting, and I never dare to do anything because I'm freaked out I'll miss the plane, so instead of reading, sleeping, playing games or whatever I could be doing once in the vehicle (bus or plane) I just wait without doing anything at all. It's very boring.

There's a fair chance I'll be there, and if I make it, nothing would delight me more than meeting up with people from the forums.

Only if I make it! And if I do, well lucky it's not a contest.

Is there any particular day that's best to go? I'd most likely be able to do Friday and/or Saturday.

Giant Tope · 06/30/2010, 01:35 pm

go all three days!
