Let's get organized a bit on this so those flying in have one less thing to worry about since they'll be drunk when the step off the plane.

I can make a couple of pickup trips around 11:00-12:00 friday

1st trip passengers (unless I hear otherwise)

tommy
janice (probably tommy's lap, front seat, if you don't mind)
Fred
pete (the dealer)
pete's bro

2nd trip
SteveB
Mrs. SteveB
DaveB (unless he talks me into a trip before first trip)


Volunteers, say when you'll be in town.

Those flying in, let us know when.

Keith,
Thanks for the offer, I really appreciate the hospitality...

Damn it's getting close... :D

oh yeah and I won't be one of the drunk ones, I gave that stuff up.

Keith,

The flight is 11:50am as you mentioned. Pete made a typo or sumthin'.

I'll be on that same flight, do we know how long it takes to drive from the SLO airport to the area hotels? I'm at the Quality Suites... I haven't looked into transfers yet, so I'm not sure if I need a ride or not. Maybe I should reserve 2nd trip now and I can cancel later if I find out I don't need the lift?

It'll be me and my wife.
 
Keith,

Of course we'll be meeting up the night before....

But I have to get the hire car back to SLO airport by 11am.

A trip back to the Sands would be cool amigo!

6th finger got in the way again & a typo manifested, sorry :o (see my avatar?)


FWIW, this post is also # 666 for me - all these 6es are making me batty, time to go buy a 6er maybe?

I thought the airport is like 5 minutes away.
(I didn't even know SLO had an airport until people started posting they'd be flying in, and I've been there about a dozen times :o )

See edited 1st post in thread for updated list
 
Keith,

if all goes well, I should be arriving at the SLO airport Friday at approximately 5 PM. I think there are others that will be arriving at that time, but I'm not sure. Nevertheless, if you feel like picking me up, let me know. It would be deeply appreciated, although I know it's very close to the pick-up moment at the hotels. I honestly have no clue about how long it takes to drive from the airport to the Sand Suites & Motel.

Thanks in advance, cheers,

Tom.
 
Can you pick me up at the munich airport in germany ?????
Damn how I wish I had time to come , ****.
I wish you the hangovers of the year------not:-))
 
Tokkes,
Only doing a couple of airport runs around noon when a cluster of people arrive. Expecting some others here to volunteer. Especially for someone coming from so far.

Whos' gonna help out Tokkes? Folks? Blokes?
 
I've got two back seats in a very small car... I dunno if I'll be any help......

I do have a somewhat large trunk for such a small car.... anyone that's free of and phobias can ride in there! :) I can pickup some people if anyone needs it?
 
Keith,

no problem. I can always take a cab if needed. I know NorM suggested on picking me up, but I don't know if he still has time/feels like doing this.

I'll just wait and see. If someone pops up that can pick me up, cool, if not, cool too, I'll get there nevertheless (ahum, I mean, I have to, I've been looking forward to this for a long time now and it's almost knocking at the back door + I think I'm the only coming from the European mainland together with a few UK residents...).

Only 12 days and 1 + 14 + 1 hours of flying away. Time travels fast...

Cheers, Tom.

Right, but who's counting, anyway? 12 days... Thom had better pick up some motion-sickness meds...

If any one needs a ride just PM or email me and I will give you my cell #. I should be arriving about 2pm or so on friday
 
I just talked to the Quality Suites, where I'm staying, and they will provide free transportation to and from the airport for their guests.

So, if anyone would benefit from being on Keith's 2nd trip, I have two seats reserved on that run which I don't really need. Keith, thanks for your kindness and generosity!
 
Keith, I'm on the same flight as Pete and SteveB, I'll snag a ride if it's ok?

Thanx, Glenn |B)

I'm arriving at around 5:00 also. I'm not checking any luggage, so I hit the ground runnin' as soon as I get off the plane. If i don't catch a ride, I guess it's a quick taxi to the Motel 6. What arline/flight are you on?

What I really need is a ride to and from JFK to avoid the 3 days parking @ $24/day!
