  • Phaedriel (Pretty good chance I'll drop by - depends on many factors (work & distance mostly) and not all of them subject to my will, so I'll keep you updated)
  • --Bennyp77 00:20, 26 June 2006 (UTC) The date may be a problem but I might be able to weasel out of my arrangement and catch a Greyhound... :)

If you won't be able to come because of expense, or have a probable conflict, you can note "(cost)" or "(conflict [dates])" below; this gives us a sense of how many people might benefit from scholarships if they become available.

+/-

  • Well, first of all, cost is an issue. Then, as you know, I am 16, so I'd have to have parental permission (though depending on the specific date, I may be 17 by then). However, I might be able to find a cheap airfare (US$100 roundtrip is a bit too low to expect though... not that I don't have more money, but rather that I don't have $200 or $300 to spend on travel expenses.) Then, there is the lodging issue. I really don't think my mother would be comfortable with me crashing at somebody's place if I'd never met them (though she'd not nessecarily have to know...), and hotels are obviously expensive. If I were able to get to Boston, though, travel around the city wouldn't be an issue because I can drive (for a while now, with lots of experience). --Node ue 03:10, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Waerth 06:58, 16 December 2005 (UTC) - Cost
  • Definitely interested, but being a student from the UK cost is an issue. --Kingboyk 18:30, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Datrio 18:46, 18 January 2006 (UTC) - Cost, but maybe I'll manage
  • Effeietsanders 10:23, 14 March 2006 (UTC) - Cost , but i hope to find some way.

Travel arrangements

[edit source]

If you have any special (potential) travel arrangements other than ride-sharing, or need a space to coordinate a large shared ride, list them below. Partner fares on airlines? Taking the ferry from Toronto? Find a travel partner, or get advice, here.

  • Can we have a airline ticket consolidator to arrange some specific low fares for who attend the meeting? AnyFile 11:44, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Yeah, maybe we can charter some flight from a central airport? (paris, london?) Is there someone with experiance on this area? Effeietsanders 10:26, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
