Who's driving, and from how far?

I'm just curious as to how many people are driving to the Reunion and from how far? We're driving from Chicago and spending the week after lighthousing around the Chesapeake Bay and New Jersey. Anybody else driving a long distance? Who's driving the farthest and how many day's are you taking to get there? Who's going to have the sorest butt? Inquiring minds want to know!

FYI - not far!
Long Island to Baltimore - 4 1/2 hours.
- Bob

LOL! I'm driving about an hour out of the way to a different airport to get a cheaper air fare. Does that count?

I'm driving about 80 miles. It will take just over an hour. I probably have one of the shortest trips.

We are driving from Cincinnati to Columbus Ohio for a much cheaper airline rate! Two hour drive, saving $600 for the three of us!

Larry and I will be driving from Auburn, IN...stopping in Va.Beach to visit family on the way. Then stopping in Richmond, VA to visit more family on the way home!

Kat {=^+^=}

Sorry Sue, I'm nothing without my spell check. And no, driving to the airport doesn't count!

Rich

The cappucino powered Blazer will be racing in from Akron, Ohio. (5 1/2 Hrs or so)

Lorna & I will be driving from my hometown of North Attleboro, Massachusetts. I'm not sure what the exact mileage is to Baltimore from here but I suspect it's about an eight hour drive.

Bob

We are driving from Holland MI. The car has been rented and the time to go is getting shorter. We can't leave earlier than Tuesday (10/2) due to job commitments. Long haul in a short time----BUT IT WILL BE WORTH IT!!!!!!!

Hal, are you complaining? (LOL)

I am flying from Scottsdale, AZ to Cape Cod, MA, then we are driving down from there. Hopefully we will check out some lighthouses on the way.
Jim

I will be driving from south Fl. Lantana to be exact, ya'll know, home of the Enquire.
So I guess the drive is between 18 & 20 hours. guess I will be stopping on the way. Will be meeting up in Va with some other WACOS to do some early lighthouseing.

Auntie is driving from NH to my house in Quaker Hill, Ct then about an 8 hour drive down.

I may have the shortest trip. Just 25 miles due north. About 30 minutes door to door. I live just west of Annapolis.

We're driving from a little east of Pittsburgh to Baltimore - about four hours I think.

Barb

Laurie may have the shortest drive. Fred Kuhlman, the Ancient Mariner, may have the longest. He's driving from San Jose by way of Kalamazoo to pick up his daughter.

Fred joined the chat tonight for a bit - says he's doing "OK".

Miss SHARON & I are coming from Tampa on 2 Oct
Then back down via Outer Banks to Penscola
for F.L.A. meeting on 13 Oct. Then back
home

Digger,

Don't I wish that Jeff and I could leave a day earlier and follow you and Becky to Baltimore, but my boss won't let me go any earlier. We are going to take the next week off after the reunion to go lighthousing before going back home. Jeff and I will be so ready for a vacation by then.

My wife and I will be driving from Beautiful Cape Cod, Ma and are looking forward to attending our 2nd Reunion. See ya there!

We hope to be arriving by boat. I keep my boat at a marina on Back River which is not far from the Inner harbor. According to my GPS it is only 6 miles from my slip to downtown,but to come out Back River into the bay then up the Patapsco River to the Inner Harbor is 22 miles. The trip will take a little over an hour.

I registered last October as a day attendee (I did not take a room at the Marriott). I planned on getting a slip at the Inner Harbor East Marina which is next to the Marriott. I called a couple of weeks ago to reserve a slip and was told that they are full that weekend because of the Fells Point Festival.
I will now have to get a slip at a marina farther away or just stay on my boat at my marina and drive in every day.

Jim Thomas

We're driving from Edelstein, IL - just north of Peoria. Planning on heading for Maine afterwards.

Kathy

Hi, We are driving up from Cape Coral, Florida. Leaving Monday or Tuesday. Looking forward to our first reunion.
