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

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 )

Ps, I'll post my itinerary once I have proper net access again
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.
Arriving in Alabama 8-29-09 (Saturday)
Flying out of Richmond via US Airways at 9:20-ish AM. Switch flights in Charlotte, NC; my inbound plane is Flight 2269. It will arrive in BHM approximately 12:00 pm, so I'll need an airport pickup around then.
Departing from Alabama 9-13-09 (Sunday)
Departing at 8:00 AM on Flight 2276 from BHM.
I'm driving into Atlanta on the 2nd and will be leaving (from somewhere) on the 10th or 11th.
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?
Yes, highly likely.
Hey Morgan! Haven't seen you around lately.
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.
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*

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
^ 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
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
Hm. I guess I should be thankful that my parents treat me like a grownup when I tell them I'm going on vacation.
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.
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.
I think it's more in case of an emergency than anything else, plus the fact that I've gotten lost/missed flights before
My mom thought it was neat as the dickens, and asked me to get drunk for her
