Re: Ride to the \'Melt if I fly to an nearby airport??

Ray -

Just for kicks, look into flying into Indianapols Indiana.

Also, AirTran will fly you to Atlanta Georgia, then Riccochet you to Bloomingon Indiana which is very near where I am and about 2 hours from Attica... Between me (maybe) and possibly the Beanco Boys there might be a seat somewhere.

Either way -- you have my address -- go ahead and ship anything you dont want to hassle with on the airplane and I'll bring it along for ya.

 

Re: Ride to the \'Melt if I fly to an nearby airport??

Ray I most likely can get you from Ohare, down there.. shouldnt be a problem I will trailering the zuk with my YUKON XL I would most likely be leaving on the Wed before. spen a couple days down there ahead of time. Unless the rig is in a pinch then i will be wrenching to the last minute.

 

Re: Ride to the \'Melt if I fly to an nearby airport??

Re: Ride to the \'Melt if I fly to an nearby airport??

I'd offer you a ride with me, I'll be going right by the airport on my way, but I'm taking my truck and there's no room.

But I'll see if and when some of the other Bedford Boy's are commin up and let ya know via P.M.

Re: Ride to the \'Melt if I fly to an nearby airpor

Ahhhh, the kindred spirit of the Zuk community is ALIVE!!!

Rae, when I see you I'm gonna give you and Jakoby a big hug. And I'm gonna hug Mitch (and maybe even get my arms around him now that he's lost all that weight

).

Billybob, I heard nasty rumors that you couldn't go. Sure hope you make it Bud. I wanna see your smilin' face, fake teeth and all.

Thanks everyone. You all rock.

Scott, you're saying you figure you have room for me in the Sub? How far away are you from O'hare? I don't want you to waste too much time on me. Your time and services are in high demand by fellow Zukers. But if we can work this out I'd much appreciate it.

Otherwise the Indianapolis way might work. I'll look into flight costs and schedules into Indy today and see how that works, but my suspicion is that it will be more expensive and less direct than O'hare.

 

Re: Ride to the \'Melt if I fly to an nearby airpor

Ray- i found a neat site, called www.bookingbuddy.com , it helps you search multiple sites at the same time for flight info and price. best one i found for you was winnipeg to chicago/o'hare on united airlines for 291.01 US OR 306.98 CAD. that is if oyu fly in wed and leave sunday. good luck and i am plannin on seeing you there!
love rae

 

Re: Ride to the \'Melt if I fly to an nearby airpor

Thanks rae, I'll check it out.

Best I could find was Winnipeg/Chicago O'hare for $396Cdn.

I looked into flying into Indy but it's quite a bit more expensive and there are no direct flights with long waits between connecting flights. I'd rather spend that extra time riding with someone talking Zuks than sitting in an airport waiting for my next flight. That's why I'd prefer to fly into Chicago.

 

Re: Ride to the \'Melt if I fly to an nearby airpor

i hope that helps! gonna be great seeing you again.

 

Re: Ride to the \'Melt if I fly to an nearby airpor

yeah, there was a VERY NASTY rumor that i wasnt going and ya know, it was completely true, but things have turned around for me pretty well and as of now im 85-90% sure im going to make it.

indy was just a offer. if ya can get hooked up with scott, thatd be cool. hes among the top 3-5 people id wanna take a road trip with, GREAT guy there. hope it all werks out fer ya.

Ray, I'll have an open seat for ya. Robert

 

Re: Ride to the \'Melt if I fly to an nearby airpor

BillyBob, that's great news. Bring an extra chef's hat for me. Since I won't be driving I figure I'll have time to help you cook.

Okiezuk, sounds like a deal. I'll get to see that coil suspension firsthand and feel the ride.

I'm feeling very excited about this trip. Can't wait to see everyone again.

Thanks Rick, but I have booked flights into and out of Chicago. Glad to hear you're going again this year though and look forward to seeing you again.
