[Charley]

For the sake of my own sanity, can we get everybody's general iteneraries posted into this thread so I can sort of cobble together a decent schedule of pickups, departures, events, etc.

Thanks y'all

[Mandy with an I]

Charley, I'll need your new landline number if you get one (since my mum says the cellphone satellite might somehow fall out of the sky and she needs the number )

I also nee addresses and telephone numbers for places - if you could PM me those they would greatly ease my mothers fear thank you please!

Ps, I'll post my itinerary once I have proper net access again

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Most of the arrival info that people have shared (bare bones) is in the first post of the DragonKaaaahn thread.

I prefer not to post my flight numbers and such on the internets. But Christin has my info.

Departing at 8:00 AM on Flight 2276 from BHM.

[Morgan Evanar]

I'm driving into Atlanta on the 2nd and will be leaving (from somewhere) on the 10th or 11th.

[Miranda Tarkin]

Okies, I am arriving in Atlanta on September 3rd at 9: 17 am with Wyl Fewdy is going to pick us up at the airport.

As for leaving, I will be departing from Atlanta at 4: 01 pm on September 10th. I think Fewdy is driving me back?

[Morgan Evanar]

Yes, highly likely.

[Han Antilles]

Hey Morgan! Haven't seen you around lately.

[Charlotte Tur'enne]

I arrive in ATL at 1:27 PM on the 3rd... think I get in right about when Jenny does for whatever that means... odds are I'll be trying to meet up with my roomies pretty quick so we can get the room secured and drop off my (no doubt) giant suitcase. lol

Uhh departing from ATL at 4:15 PM on the 10th ...soooo maybe if I beg plead and bribe I can catch a ride with whoever is taking Mira back? If not I'm sure we can work something out anyway.

Yep. That's that.

I private messaged Charley with more details about the flight itinerary.

I also nee addresses and telephone numbers for places - if you could PM me those they would greatly ease my mothers fear thank you please!

Haha, we're in the same boat on that one. Here is a typical conversation with my mother.

Mom: "Who are all these people!? How can you know them on the Internet, they must be complete strangers. What are their names, where do they live, what are their jobs, do they live in a slum in Alabama? How big is their house? Are you going to sleep on the floor? Why are you traveling alone? What are you going to do in Atlanta and where will you sleep. When did you order the flight and hotel, and how much did it cost. What is the name of and where is the hotel. Why did you not tell me this before. Why are you spending so much money on this. Why are..." *inhale*

Me: "Take a deep breath and let me explain what..".

Mom: Aahhhh... 9/11 terrists... Bin Laden... swine flu... thieves... serial killers... party drugs... *inhale*

Me:

[Miranda Tarkin]

Good to know that even at our age Yog, our Mother's are crazy ... granted with reason but we are both 32!

I basically told my Mom that I've known these people for almost 10 years and we've shared wacky adventures together about our lives without ever meeting. It's all good, and besides, we'll be traveling in packs

[Mandy with an I]

^ I've been to visit Christin and Charley like, 3 times, and I still have to give my mum all of their information AND my travel information. I've told her I would have my cell with me, but noooo, the sky might fall and cell phones will be useless!

I just find it funny that no matter how old or where you are from, all mothers worry about their little babies when they travel

[Charlotte Tur'enne]

Nice to hear my mom's not the only one who does that. Oddly enough, mine has been pretty cool about this whole thing, even when I told her my boyfriend wasn't coming with me. I think it's because of when I went and visited Lyk earlier this year and came back all in one piece. Though...I'm sure I'll get the "names, numbers, itinerary NOW" routine just before I leave.

I know that when my plane lands I'll be calling her going "Not dead! See you in a week " at the very least. lol

[Redik]

Hm. I guess I should be thankful that my parents treat me like a grownup when I tell them I'm going on vacation.

[Verse Dawnstrider]

I don't see a thread like this at the sister board so I will post here and such. me and my wife will be driving to Atlanta on the 3rd from Savannah.

[Morgan Evanar]

My folks know about all of you and are fine with it. "Hey, I'm glad you get to see Charley again. Be safe."

Pretty much all they've told me. I've met so many internet people before that they don't really worry about it.

[Dasquian Belargic]

Hm. I guess I should be thankful that my parents treat me like a grownup when I tell them I'm going on vacation.

Weeeell some of us have never flown alone before, and certainly never outside of the EU so I am fine with my mother wanting to know I'm going :mneh

she has actually met some Fans peeps before so I'm sure it's not a fear of Internet axe murderers

[Mandy with an I]

I think it's more in case of an emergency than anything else, plus the fact that I've gotten lost/missed flights before

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

My mom thought it was neat as the dickens, and asked me to get drunk for her
