I had two people leave my van pool, so we still have space for those
who want to attend. So if you have friends/family who are still
interested, this is their time to get onto the list.

See you Saturday.

I don't know if everyone remembers, but I mentioned a van that holds
7-10 people at the meeting. I have just gotten confirmation that driver
of said van is going, and will make his van available. He should be
joining the google group soon (I need to email him the info). I also
whipped up a rough timeline for your approval:

9AM Friday Leave Tampa
1AM Saturday Arrive in DC (16 h)
9AM Wake up (8 h)
10AM Arrive at Mall (1 h)
get place, eat, small amount of sightseeing
12PM Rally start (2 h)
3PM Rally end (3 h)
more sightseeing, more food
9PM Leave DC (6 h)
1PM Sunday Arrive in Tampa (16 h)

Most of these times are obviously fudgable, but this is, I think, an ok
starting point. I need to be at Busch Gardens by 6:20PM Sunday. The
question of how everyone gets into the van also came up, i.e. meeting
locations?

If we do it this way, we'd only need the hotel room for 1 night
instead of 2 (unless we're thinking of going back to the hotel for a
bit of a sleep).

If everyone else is good with that, I could do it (and it would be
that much cheaper!) - but we'd have to agree to drive in shifts so we
don't have people too tired to keep going.

Any other opinions? What about the people who don't need hotel stays -
will just 1 night work better than 2, or were you planning on hanging
around with friends/family for a bit longer?

Were your friends still going to add themselves to Mr. Spreadsheet?
