I need to figure out if I'm going to make the F2F. I wouldn't be able to leave until after work on Friday, and on Sunday I need to be in Savannah for dinner.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: Madison, WI from June 20-22 2008! Official website.

Random question, Sparky - how long a drive is Savannah from Atlanta?

Of course you're going to make the F2F, Sparky.
It's 4-5 hours to Savannah. AirTran does occasionally have very cheap flights.

Ginger also added, when I asked, that it was a very boring drive, so I'm hoping to fly. What I really need to do is talk to the organizer for the Savannah boondoggle to see if they have a problem paying for something other than a RT ticket. Trouble is, the organizer is a dimwit so I'm avoiding the question.
Off to write her an email, now.

Very boring. Much of I-16 goes through pine plantations. It's mile after mile of precisely planted pine trees. It's also below the fall line, so it's as flat as Kansas.

Matt that would be great! I sent you an email to your profile addy.
It hasn't arrived yet... could you resend, just in case it got lost in the internets somewhere?

Hmmm. A friend suggested an interesting route back to Baltimore, though it sounds like it would involve a detour and take all day (like 14 hours or so with Atlanta being the starting point). Anyone ever driven the Blue Ridge Parkway the whole distance?

I've driven it, but it was years and years ago. I just remember it was pretty.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

It's gorgeous. But twisty. Definitely slower than the interstate, but worth it if you've got the time.
