barbm Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Southwest Airlines just extended their schedules to cover MQS' timeframe, so it's time to decide: do I drive or do I fly to MQS? If there's anyone out there from the Pacific NW who would like to ride/drive with me, I'd be willing to drive, but not by myself. It would take an extra day or so, plus an extra hotel night each way, but would probably be less expensive than a flight + rental car. Plus there's lots more room to bring stuff home from the show! If anyone's interested, please contact me: U2U, email, phone - it all works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Hey, I am a road tripper! I\'d rather drive than fly, if I had the time, but me being way up in the middle of the frozen north, it would take a week for me to drive there! If I lived in Washington, I would ride with you, Barb. We could be like Thelma & Louise, except at the end, we would drive home with a loaded down trunk, not drive off a cliff...

barbm Posted January 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Shana, I saw your moniker on the reply line and almost had a heart attack! I\'m willing to drive as far west as the Seattle/Portland area to meet up with someone, but Alaska\'s a little far to go! ROFLMAO I\'d love to do a road trip with you sometime, girl! Hey, how close to Anchorage is North Pole? I\'m coming up there for a convention in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barbm Posted January 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 ahhhhhh - just a little far to meet for lunch, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Hey...when you two plan a road trip...remember I fly free in the lower 48...I can meet you anywhere you want to!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I will also see if I can get a cheap, cheap fare to fly. It\'s only about 400-450 miles to drive, but that\'s a tank and a half of gas each way. Figuring $60-$70 each way for gas, it might be cheaper to fly. Where should I try to fly into, if I fly?

nineva Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Hey there Shana, where are you from Homer? I am coming up for a week in February to visit a dear dear friend in Stage 4 cancer. It might be a nice distraction to meet up if you are close. Nancy Jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Teresa, What time on Wednesday?? I only have one class that day, may be able to swing something...just have to be back in time to shop!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Nancy Jo, Homer is way far south from me...I am 350 miles north of Anchorage and Homer is 200 miles south of Anchorage. Anyway, Homer is one of THE MOST SPECTACULAR and BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL places! You are right on the water/ocean with huge mountains and can view some volcanos in the distance. I am sad to learn about your friend\'s cancer. You are a good friend to go and visit with her. I am sending a prayer to your friend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
