Okay guys, so I guess I'm heading this operation since it is my home state and all.
As of now, here are the flights that we are planning to take:
Jul 9, 2009
Northwest Airlines - FLIGHT 347
Depart: 7:25 pm
Arrive: 9:32 pm
Duration: 5 hr 7 min
From Detroit, MI (DTW) to San Francisco, CA (SFO)
Jul 13, 2009
Northwest Airlines - Flight 222 **NOTE THE NEW FLIGHT #**
Depart: 8:20 am
Arrive: 3:50 pm
Duration: 4 hr 30 min
From San Francisco, CA (SFO) to Detroit, MI (DTW)
Instructions for booking your flight:
1. Go to www.nwa.com
2. Type in Detroit and San Francisco in the two boxes
3. Change the dates to 7/9/09 and 7/13/09
4. Find Flight 347 and click Choose this departure
5. Find Flight 222 and click Choose this return ***EDIT: The flight # has been fixed***
6. Proceed to the next page, if you have a World Perks # and have flown with NWA before, enter that information here. Otherwise, click to continue as Guest.
7. Enter payment info
8. Get ready for GENESIS
And yea, I realize that we don't get back until Monday afternoon. However, this was by far the most cost effective for the amount of travel time (both of these are direct flights). And also, this ensures that we will see the end of the tournament, even if something "COT4esque" ends up happening.
Housing and transportation
So it looks like they are encouraging everyone to get hotel rooms. We could do that, or we can stay with some friends of mine in either San Francisco or Santa Cruz, both are within about 1 - 1.5 hours of the venue, and both are willing to host us for a few nights. Let's start discussing the options for housing now and make a decision soon because if we choose to book a hotel room, we should do that in the near future.
The hotels are much closer to the venue, but are pretty pricey. Comfort Suites or the Hampton Inn will both run about $100 dollars a night, and I'm not sure how many of us can stay there.
As for transportation, I'm trying to get my friend to let us borrow his van for the weekend. If he lets us (which I believe he will) then we will have a sweet 7 seater Honda mini van for all our traveling needs.
Anyone from around the midwest is welcome to join us!!!! Drive to Michigan and meet up with us or just fly to the detroit airport on the 9th.
That's about it, let's get pumped!
