This post is for the following people:
[info]xujof, [info]snack_kun,[info]ciarrai, [info]happyscrappyhp[info]juliekarasik, [info]mondojojo, [info]broken_klaive,[info]amethyst_dancer

It would also be for the following, but they won't see this:
[info]spamofthehive,[info]majik,Spike, Mom, Adam, James' friend, Julies' friend and [info]zaia3

For those of you who DO see this, i would like a simple "I saw it" comment. and of course any questions, ask. But i'm gettign too many people who are saying they dnot know anything when i HAVE talked to people about it. No, not everyone has said this, but specific people i HAVE talked to, are saying it. Only one person who has said it gets the exception.

Anyway, I'm tired of being ignored. SO you wanted the details instead of the simple plan? you've got DETAILS, every single mine-ute and trivial and "well maybe if we have time we'll do this" detail. Even if it doesnt' AFFECT US!!!!


New Hampshire Crew Travel Plans:
1- Thursday- Go to bed early folks, the New Hampshire Crew (consisting of 5 people: Me, paige, jody, spam and ray) will be getting up dammmmmn early (and ray a little earlier) to leave for our trip.
2 -Friday morning, 7am.
  • The drivers are Ray and Myself. We are taking two cars for 5 people. Spam will be going with Ray. Jody hasn't decided which vehicle as of yet. I'm assuming Paige will be in my car. We will LEAVE no later then 7am

  • If estimates are correct, our two cars will be entering the Cazenovia/Syracuse area in roughly 5 hours from start. Aka - Noonish (depending on Matts Rest Stop Expeditions)

  • a half hour out from Syracuse, our two cars (ray following at this point unless who ever is in the car with him decides they don't want to do this and continue on by themselves) will make a small detour to the locale of the Zaia's to say hello and meet the new baby. Let me emphasize here that it is a new baby and we will not be staying overlong. At tops, 3 - 3 1/2 hours.

  • if the detour goes according to plan, we will leave at 3- 3:30 to head out towards Syracuse and our hotel

  • We arrive at the hotel. I have two rooms under my name and ray has one for himself, so the next step is the two of us doing paperwork and checking ourselves in. After we find out what rooms WE are in, we will then ask if the Long Island Crew (two cars, 5 folks) had arrived and if Julie has arrived and find out what rooms THEY are in.

  • We bring our stuff to our room.

  • Between 4 and 5 we will - or at least I will - make a trek down to teh shoppingtown plaza/mall to await the arrival of [info]mondojojo

  • At this point, we should go in search of food. There is a local Denny's within easy WALK of the hotel

  • Lastly, we'll have a few hours to kill. I plan on bringing scrabble and cards. NO MAGIC DECKS AND NO RPGS - my mother will be there and who knows how content to stay in her room she will be...

  • VERY LASTLY - AGAIN we should ALL go to sleep early. I wanna get to the gates in time to see the PARADE This year.

That ends friday for New Hampshire.

Details on friday not directly related to New Hampshire folks:
LONG ISLAND CREW of 5 are coming up seperately.

Mom and Adam plan on stopping in Pennsylvania for the American House of Candles. Its a nice trip. I've been there. THey plan on getting to the Red Roof on Friday around 2pm which is check in time. But they are not completely sure.

Snack and Kerry and Rob - Snack Driving - You have directions to the red roof. And if you get there before the NHCREW, at least mom and adam should be there. THey've been warned and you've been warned so you should be able to find them and hang with them till I get there and get the rooms open for you.

SATURDAY:
  • Wake up is early. 8am for most of us, for those of us with COMPLEX outfits to put on, I suggest earlier. Faire opens at 10. I wanna be there for the parade. and since this is the first time for at least 5 of you, I think it would be nice for you folks too....SO leave by 9 am

  • Traveling to faire: Mom and Adam will be in their own car, since they have to jet early and they don't know when yet. THat leaves 12 of us to fit in the other cars. Ray and I can both get about 5 in our cars, so i figure that means Julie will be driving herself and her friend in her car. That means that if spam is in Ray's car, we have three vehicles that will know how to get where they are going and one that does not. In which case, The other two vehicles do not have to wait for me and my mom. Thats a total of 4 cars to the faire.

  • At faire, we have coupons for buy one ticket, next one gets in free. Mom has one for her and adam.
    I have 5, which is enough the NHCREW and the remainder of the LICREW, Julie, i dont have enough for you and your friend or for Spike (who we should be seeing at faire) I'll try to get another set of coupons but....

  • We are now at faire, have fun and run around....

  • Possibly run into the Brantleys - don't know since i haven't heard from them

  • Faire Closes at 7pm. WE will, of course, be there 90 percent of the day, and leave when they kick us out.

  • After faire - i suggest folks bring bathing suits and towels. IT IS QUITE POSSIBLE since we'll be running into Spike, that we'll wind up at the lake. You dont' have to swim if you don't want to. And if there are those who'd prefer to go back to the hotel, i'm sure we can work something out.

  • after that, Dinner is a must - i wonder if that place we went to in Carousel Mall with the arcade is still open?

  • Goodnite folks, saturday is over, no matter what we did between


That concludes Saturday.
Now on to SUnday:
Sunday Travel Plans for NH Crew:

  • Check out is, I believe, at 10 am. So we will check out. We will stop at Denny's for breakfast (possibility) and then we shall leave, most likely by 11am if we stop for food.

  • We travel. No need for ray to follow us if he doesn't want to, esp. if he has spam as company

  • SPam, let me remind you that if we leave at 11 am , its only a 5 hour ride. You'll get home WELLLLLLL BEFORE 11pm. You won't miss your job. So taking your own car - i hope youve stopped even thinking about it....

  • We're Home


Costs:


The two rooms at the Red Roof Inn that i have gotten for:
Myself, Kerry, Rob, Snack, Spam, Jody, Paige and James
will cost $20 dollars per person.
---Snack is paid in full
---Spams is being deducted from what I shall owe for otakon hotel

Faire tickets - usual cost =19.99
---with coupons shared out, it will cost everyone $10.oo

Food ---whatever you want to spend
Misc---whatever you want to buy

Drivers---Gas and Tolls (Mom, Me, Ray, Snack, Julie)

Time:
My mother and Adam are staying for two days: friday and saturday.
The rest of us are staying for two and a half days: Friday, saturday and sunday morning.

Addendum:
Paige and Ray both have cells. I have both their numbers. Snack and Mom AND the Zaia's have Paiges number.

Wow....
If I ever start a merc company, can I get you to do Ops for me?? *chuckles* Sorry, but I seriously think that you put waaaaaaaay too much work into that, and I get the funny feeling that at least ONE thing will go wrong. But still, Damn, that's impressive.

Re: Wow....
heh, well thats why i said, they wanted details they got it. everyone was complaining they didnt know what was going on, when i told them everything we needed to know to get there, and get a room and go to the faire.

So now they've got the stuff i didn't tell them before and the few who actually remember me TALKIng to them will smack their heads and say "Okay! thats fine, we knew everything we needed to know"

Of course, i know at least one person on the list who will still say that they 'didn't get any of that from me' when i know damn well they did....

I'll be working Thursday night. So I'm exempt from that sleeping plan.
Don't worry i'm home by six I'll just stay up so I'm able to get in the car.
There's no excuse for people not calling me. My phone doesn't have roaming charges and there's maybe a all togetter total of 3 minutes that we're in dead space. ;)
Plus my phone AIM is pageblak

ok 1 more person, and I swear that is it!
Just got some last minute info on one last person who wants to go. a friend of Jason's(my friend), I don't know him, but what can you do. I can ride in his minivan if it'll lessen the load, but I did inform him about every part of the plan and what not.

Re: ok 1 more person, and I swear that is it!
well, one
you still haven't confirmed your pick up time
two, you still haven't confirmed wether your FIRST pal (jason?) will be arriving in a timely fashion on saturday.

if the three of you go in his minivan, i don't mind the addition.
i just wanna make sure we leave on time okay???

I'll write up a set of spare directions. If your friend is late, do you want to wait around for them while we take off or what???? we have to take that into account. EVERYONE ELSE will be at the hotel or meeting us at the faire, so this pal we'll be waiting for i'd really like to be on time, okay?

*crosses fingers* lets hope it pulls off well james :) and let me know anything i need to know okay?

Thanks for the list - it's great - I know it's hard to pin leisurely things on a time schedule but this brings into light things I didn't realize required precise timing (mondo at the mall, the lake etc.) I really appreciate this huge list and I'm printing it out. And since we talked on aim (your pre-Syracuse schedj) and email (driving directions) and in person (paying the hotel share), I wasn't ignoring you at all ^_^

Re: I saw it... but
every time we take more then one car, spam is usually the one driving. he'll leave first and get there an hour later, or he'll follow me and urgently need the rest stop on a 4 hour drive twice...

You'll just be seeing me - Bonnie will be working this weekend and can't make it. Bleah.

Thanks bunches for the info. Too much is *always* better than not enough.

Forgot to add - Seeing as it will just be me, I can ferry people from the hotel to the faire. It's a geo and seats four easily, five not so easily. I'll also be bringing some additional buy one get one free cupons for those that need 'em, and I can volunteer crash space in my room if anyone needs it.

This post wasn't necessarily for me, but I saw it. I suggested to paige that you guys stop over for the BBQ Steve and I are having from 4p - whenever on Friday. We live REALLY close, the directions are simple, and there'll be plenty of food. It would save you guys a little cash instead of eating at Dennys.

Erin will be there. She and I are going to Ren Faire Sunday, so unfortunately we'll miss you guys, but I hope you decide to take me up on the offer. It'll be fun!

Call me and let me know. They screwed up the Syracuse phone book this year and we aren't in it at the correct addy and # (Darn - free unlisted). Dragonchylde and spike both have my info, or I can give it to you direct if there's a way to e-mail me privately (I'm not really comfortable posting it, when I am not familiar with all "present").

Talk to you later, and if our paths don't cross - I hope you have a great trip!

Re:
well april, it'd have to be after 5pm.

and are you comfortable with the fact that 6 of the folks you don't know?

Plus Andy C is supposed to stop by on friday night and i don't know when so most likely, if we did go to your place, we'd have to wait for him first and then drag him along and thats 7 people you dont know.

actualyl, i'm rather surprised you saw this posts of all posts. i'd had you added to my friends list for like the last year or so and finally gave up. you didn't look like you EVER touched lj...

anyway, my email is listed on my profile page. email your info there.

and we'll find out when we get to syracuse if we can get to the bbq. it really is up to the majority.

though it would be cool to see you folks so hopefully it works out..

Sterling faire trip....
I will be seeing everyone tomorrow night and as luck might have it I know the manager at the Red Roof.... She is not working tomorrow but she is working Sat. If I had have had the names the reservations were under I could have had something done for you today. Rates are slightly higher than normal due to Hell Fest at the State Fairgrounds this weekend. We can try to talk to Tina Sat. Morning.I will be out on the boat tomorrow morning and will leave the work cell phone on so you can call when you get in, the number is (315)952-2305.I may or may not bring the watercraft to Faire depending on mood and how it is running,it just came back from Sharpe's and hasn't been ridden by me yet.They are saying that it is running great and somewhere in the 65-66 mph range. The little water craft is at Sharpe's til Mon. it sucked water in the rear cylinder and the engine is out of it.I'll fill all interested parties in more tomorrow. Have a safe trip and see everyone soon. Spike
