Happy new year guys!
I'm up for the C5 fest Merc! We can split a room and a rental car. Maybe even stay a few extra days, do some golfing or site seeing?

Edit: The NHRA spring nationals are at that track the weekend before C5 fest!! Ima catch that for sure!
Edit 2: I'm going to book a flight, car and room from the 25th of April to the 4th of May. If you can't make it early Just let me know when your flight comes in an I can pick you up at the airport. We can pro rate the room and car for the days you are here.

I'm flying in though, leaving Pumpkin at home.

This is the flight I'm looking at.

Looks like me and Merc are going to be heading to Houston, sharing a room and rental car. Let's get some more BC/AB peeps in on this! Plenty of Hotel rooms left.

LittleReEntryRacer · 01-08-2014, 03:37 PM

How much $$ do those points equate to?

I have not pulled the trigger on that flight quite yet and the return leg is not available now. I looked at the same flight on the way down, but not departing Houston til 5:20 pm Tuesday gets into Belligham 11:00pm. That flight is $365 US.

My experience is to book 4-6 weeks in advance for best deal. You guys should wait a bit.
I might drive down ,maybe with Islander, and we would have room for a couple hitchhikers. Wouldn't be any cheaper but might be an adventure!

El Diablo is looking at driving down and he is leaving out of Fort St Johns, that might be a good hook up for you guy's. When we went to Phoenix a few years back the road trip was one of the high lights. Good chance that it might be in Phoenix next year. We could probably get a real big convoy from the West for that.

When I looked at booking a cash flight flight through Alaska the return options are different from one that is booked with Alaska Reward Miles. Not sure why? I can get out of Dodge around noon using miles, but a cash flight is around 5pm.

The reason I was waiting till Tuesday to return is I'm thinking about a trip to Johnson Space Center on Monday.

You can't book flights that typically sell out with Air miles. They restrict you to flights that are not usually full.

Im really interested in Road Track time and trying it out too. Anyone ever planned a trip/cruise to The Ridge, just south of Seattle?
Is that the closest place we could track our cars?
