If you are attending the convention, what mode of transportation will get you there?
Since 2011, I have attended 3 conventions (St. Louis, Nashville, Indianapolis) and have always driven. If my destination is more than 1 days drive, I will consider flying, but driving has always been my preferred mode of transportation.
My Wednesday journey to St. Louis is approx. 530 miles. Is anyone here driving more miles than me? . --68.63.xxx.xx |

Why not take a hot air balloon or the Good Year blimp?
Just kidding.
All of us who are not going, are expecting reports from the floor of the convention. --99.59.x.xxx |

Since we're over 2000 miles away we'll be flying.

If we were driving, Googles says 14 hours on I-64 the entire way. So we are flying. Hate flying but what can you do?
"14 h 41 min (981.3 mi) via I-64 W" --50.82.xxx.xx |

WMH,
I hate flying too. I remember when it was fun to hop on a commercial jet and fly somewhere,..but now with all of the long lines at security checkpoints, it is just a PITA. --68.63.xxx.xx |

I am driving - 700 miles - 10 hr 47 minutes.
Lots of podcasts to keep me company.
I can set the temperature in the car so it is comfortable for me and no security check points.
I used to enjoy flying, but, not any more.
See you Wednesday afternoon! --67.45.xxx.xxx |

If I were going,would probably drive,we used to think nothing of driving to Florida or coming home from work,and packing everyone in the car or fifth wheel and taking off for Canada.Stopping here or there for the craic.Just think,if all those people who are employed doing security,and you weren't flying,they'd be walking the unemployment line,so you are doing a public service,most of them couldn't get a regular job..to save their life..............................charlie.......................................sad.............indeed.....................

I know it will be tough to drive that 10 miles to the convention. Maybe you and Sid could carpool and take turns driving? :) --68.63.xxx.xx |

Charlie,
If I just have to fly, I always book a 1st Class seat. It is worth the extra dollars. 1st Class flyers get treated with respect and I feel pity for anyone who has to sit in the sardine can Coach section. --68.63.xxx.xx |

Roy,never thought of First Class,great idea.If going overseas or international,they have something now where you can use a lounge area between flights, sounds like a nice idea also.have to follow up on that too.

Like MMIT [VA], I will have lots of podcasts to listen to while I drive the 400+ miles from central Ohio. Google says it should take about 6 1/2 hours to drive. Stay safe and awake while you are driving there. --99.165.xx.xxx |

I'm driving in, and this is the first convention I'll be attending. It's about a six hour drive each way. Unfortunately, this will have to be a one day event for me. --99.203.xx.xx |
