Indeed it does. But Matt makes it sound like they will be leaving on Monday also, so unless they can put off their carpool until Tuesday morning I will still be riding with you and Edith.

valley_parade · « **Reply #951 on:** 17 May 2008, 07:50 »

Hey girls, what time are you going to be there anyway? I'm getting in around 7:30 that Friday morning.

Liz · « **Reply #952 on:** 17 May 2008, 07:55 »

Linds, Edith, and myself will either be leaving Fort Wayne on Thursday night and getting into Tronno really, really early in the morning or leaving early Friday and getting there by noonish, I think.

valley_parade · « **Reply #953 on:** 17 May 2008, 08:13 »

Hmmmn. If the room's under Linds' name, can I still get in and shower/whatever before you guys show up?

Lines · « **Reply #954 on:** 17 May 2008, 09:45 »

Well, I just reserved the three of us beds (yay!) and I listed the arrival time as noon. I have to be there when we check in, I think, and I'm not really sure when Liz and I will arrive. (Like she said, either late Thurs night/early Friday morning.) We'll figure this out when we can all talk.

Katie Mai and I are leaving on the 24th(tuesday), says katie.

Liz · « **Reply #956 on:** 17 May 2008, 17:50 »

Oh em gee that is great news. If I can ride back with you guys that would be scrumptious, because then I could go to my concert. Yay!

Also, do you know which cities you'll be driving through? I want to buy my bus ticket(s) as soon a possible. Google maps plots your route through Chicago (going from Toronto to OKC), so I could buy my return ticket from Chicago or just get a round trip one from South Bend, where I'll probably be meeting up with Linds and Edith.

jason and i are leaving for tronno on thursday morning (june 19th) and will arrive early thursday afternoon. then i think we need to find something to do until mike gets off of work... who else is going to be there on thursday?

matt/katie/mai - if you guys are driving through michigan on wednesday and need a place to crash for the night, i will be at my parents' house (along I-96, slightly out of the way, but not by much for a free place to stay) and there are 4 extra beds there.

Something Witty · « **Reply #958 on:** 17 May 2008, 19:43 »

By the time we got that far it will be well into thursday even if I did drive all night. liz: We are driving through Chicago. Talk to katie about a spot in the car, because it's her car.

Liz · « **Reply #959 on:** 17 May 2008, 19:57 »

I've PMed her about it, but as she's in Scotland or England right now she might be a bit slow replying.

Five hours of busking. I bet I could make $20. =P

tania · « **Reply #961 on:** 18 May 2008, 10:27 »

if things go according to plan i'll hopefully be arriving on thursday, but probably not until about midnight. if anyone is in toronto and even wants to do anything that late at night i'm down, i guess, but most likely i'll just see you all on friday.

calenlass · « **Reply #962 on:** 18 May 2008, 10:47 »

My car is leaving on the 24th from Tronno because Mai has plane tickets and Matt has work. When exactly that day we leave depends on the trip up, as I'm going to use it to gauge how long it takes.

There is one (actually two but only if you have a tiny ass and no bags) extra seat in my car going up and coming back.

Also d'awwww, Tommy is matchmaking with tasers again.

Liz · « **Reply #963 on:** 18 May 2008, 12:15 »

This is good news indeed. Katie, would you mind if I joined you guys for the Chicago to Tronno portion of the trip? I was going to ride with Linds and Edith on the way there still but I don't want to make them drive two hours out of their way to pick me up, and as you guys will be going through Chicago it would be much easier for me.

I can get into Chicago any time from 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on the way there, and leave anytime past 3:00. Google Maps tells me that your trip will take one day and nine hours, so I'm guessing you'll want to leave Tronno pretty early on Tuesday to get going.

Let me know what you think, as I really would like to buy my bus tickets soon.

Something Witty · « **Reply #964 on:** 18 May 2008, 23:09 »

Pfft. Katie is adding roughly 18 hours of driving each way to her drive for my sake. Two hours doesn't seem so bad now, does it?

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #965 on:** 18 May 2008, 23:50 »

You know, even with the plane ticket I still haven't figured out all of the logistics of my journey. I should probably get on that huh?

12 hours.

Edith · « **Reply #967 on:** 19 May 2008, 09:20 »

South Bend is fine. It's not 2 hours, it's a bit over one.

I'm confused by how late we're leaving, though. I thought we were driving up either after work on Wednesday or early in the morning on Thursday. I am off work Thursday - Monday.

Linds, did you already buy your bus ticket, and if so, what time and DAY am I picking you up?

E.

I just guessed, all I know is that it is 21 hours from the hostel to my house, not including traffic.

South Bend is fine. It's not 2 hours, it's a bit over one.

Google Maps said two, but whatever. Either way I would still like to join the Katie/Mai/Matt carpool on the way back. Should I just buy a late ticket out of Chicago to make sure we'll get there in time for my bus?

Also, Edith, Linds and I thought we were leaving after you got done with work on Thursday, so Thursday night. I haven't purchased my bus tickets yet, and I don't think Linds has either, so we could change that. I know that I can buy a one-way ticket to Fort Wayne from Fargo for $63, but it gets in at 5:20 a.m. on Thursday, so if we're not leaving until later that would be a little silly.

Lines · « **Reply #970 on:** 19 May 2008, 11:12 »

I actually thought we'd be leaving Thursday morning. Like we'd arrive Weds night and sleep over. That's why we were looking for a place to sleep for Thurs.

And no, I did not buy my tickets yet due to confusion about when to arrive and leave. Is arriving in IN on Weds and leaving really early Tues morning sound good?

Liz · « **Reply #971 on:** 19 May 2008, 11:32 »

Well okay. Thanks to Gabbly, that bit is all worked out. I will be riding with Linds and Edith to Toronto, leaving Fort Wayne sometime around noon.

As for the ride back, I think I might just buy a bus ticket out of Chicago for late on Tuesday to ensure that we get back there in time. How's that sound?

Slick · « **Reply #972 on:** 19 May 2008, 17:04 »

I work for a place that sells tickets for Greyhound Canada, and usually they are time non-specific, unless you get the n-Day advance tickets. Those aren't too much of a savings over student fare, though.

Lines · « **Reply #973 on:** 19 May 2008, 17:38 »

How do you get student fare?

Slick · « **Reply #974 on:** 19 May 2008, 18:01 »

Well, in Canada, you say "I'm a student" and present your student ID. In the East, your university card is fine, but I hear you may need the ISIC card if you're in the prairies.
I assume a student card should be enough, though I don't know if it works online. If the online system there is anything like it his here, then I recommend against using it and going to a greyhound agent instead.

Lines · « **Reply #975 on:** 19 May 2008, 19:41 »

Good to know! Thanks.

Slick · « **Reply #976 on:** 19 May 2008, 20:20 »

It looks like you need a student advantage card to get 15% off.
You guys got shafted, we get 40% off with a normal student card...

Liz · « **Reply #977 on:** 19 May 2008, 20:28 »

Damn you Canada.

Damn you all to hell.

What she said. And they got rid of the 2 week advance purchase.

Liz · « **Reply #979 on:** 19 May 2008, 22:44 »

Well, they are soon, maybe they have already. It just wasn't an option for one of my tickets.

Still. Greyhound USA sucks.

Tania, do you want to get breakfast on Friday?

Lines · « **Reply #981 on:** 23 May 2008, 06:46 »

He's going to be arriving super early, which I'm assuming is why he asked.

But in general for Tronno, I do not expect to be awake any time before 9 and completely awake and dressed before 11. If I wake up before noon, I will be rather surprised, as I usually don't the first few weeks of summer. But that means I'd be able to stay up late and do fun things at night!

First off, I will have just graduated and after not having had very much sleep in the past few months, yes, I expect to sleep in late. I deserve it, dammit.

Quote from: tommydski on 23 May 2008, 06:37

Dogg, I'll be honest about this. I'm no fucking good at getting up early and neither is anyone else I am sharing accommodation with by association.

If Linds and I are still crashing for a night, then you this is false. I can get up at whatever time I need to.

Not that I necessarily like it, see, but if Shane wants to get up for breakfast I can do that. What time were you thinking, dude?

0bsessions · « **Reply #985 on:** 23 May 2008, 08:06 »

Shane enjoys getting up at the crack of way too god damn early and getting breakfast.

How much you want to bet you'll want to sleep in, too? Bus ride and then road trip.

Slick · « **Reply #989 on:** 23 May 2008, 08:36 »

Depending on if I'm gainfully employed at that point in time, I will come into town for breakfast early.

Liz · « **Reply #990 on:** 23 May 2008, 08:52 »

I'll just go to sleep early on Thursday. I'll be awake and alert Friday morning!

James, you can join us if you want. That way you and I can get started on our awkward weekend bright and early.
