Assuming I can get out to Eau Claire or wherever you are, I will totally take you up on your offer Nick, lol.

Kurt and I will be driving to Nats... from Wisconsin.

Our route goes through Green Bay, Wausau, Eau Claire, and Menomonie.

Good news is we have room for two more, we won't charge much for gas, and we will get to the tournament location by midafternoon on Wednesday.

Bad news is we have to leave by about 1:30 on Saturday afternoon to head back through Green Bay, so we will miss the last round of play on Saturday.

PM me if you are interested.

One and all:

I work part-time at a luggage store and the owner has approved a 10% discount code ' REDEMPTION ' when you purchase from www.LuggageGuru.com ---

If you have a problem with the discount code, please PM me.

The store already has some of the best prices on the Internet including Amazon.

I hope this helps a little for those who are planning to purchase luggage for travel to Nats.

Of course everyone else who has the code can enjoy the discount even if you're not going to Nats, but we prefer to see you there!

See you at Nats 2011!!!

The South Florida Redemption Playgroup has recently been considering travel arrangements, but one question that has been brought up is about the trip to Mall of America... A few of us would love to visit, but we'd have to account for an extra day into our trip and further discuss transportation. My questions are: Is there a definite trip planned to MoA already that about 3-4 guys might be able to hitch a ride? If so, what day is being considered and what time?

Currently, we are entertaining the idea of flying in Wednesday and leaving Sunday (Since a 28 hour road trip makes it impossible to be back home Sunday by 4pm

).

Also, is there a bus that runs from the airport to the hotel/hotel to MoA? Trying to save pennies because Taxi's are murderous on the wallet

.

Carry On,

We will provide transpertation from the Airport to the Hotel and back again. As Nationals gets closer we will get your flight information and a contact #.

Haven't planned the details to Mall of America yet. Probably Thursday evening after Redemption events are over. We will work out transportation details. Light rail is one option. If the # is relativly small we will take a couple vans.

That sounds great! I know one of our guys would like to spend more time at MoA, but that adds an extra financial burden for some of us. Wow, thank you for offering to transport us, it makes things much easier. I'll update the playgroup with this information and see what everyone else has to say. Again, thank you.

Carry On,

You may not be as thankful if Wild Bill is the one doing the driving. Just saying.

Is it just me or is there a roundabout by the MOA entrance?

I'm curious as to what exactly lodging will be available at no charge at the church Wednesday - Friday mean; what does that mean? Will there be beds somewhere? Privacy? Does that mean bring a sleeping bag?

everytribe · « **Reply #36 on:** June 16, 2011, 12:13:14 PM »

Lodging means bringing sleeping bags. We have 30 matteresses that are available. So the first 30 people that pre-register and say they are sleeping in the church will get them. The guys will sleep on the floor in the youth room and we have classrooms with carpeting on the floor and bathrooms for the girls and families.

EmJayBee83 · « **Reply #37 on:** June 16, 2011, 05:38:48 PM »

There are also showers that work so bring a towel.

Crashfach2002 · « **Reply #38 on:** July 17, 2011, 09:31:38 PM »

Was there ever a reply as far as whether we could sleep at the church or someone's place? Just trying to find the cheapest way for a couple of poor married guys.

The M · « **Reply #39 on:** July 17, 2011, 10:23:41 PM »

The church should be fine.
As long as it is reserved, we have access to mattresses and showers which are both free.
Or you could pay the tall dark-haired kid with glasses and braces.

I will be starting a thread about the 15-passenger van leaving from Crosspointe Church of Christ in Franklin, OH on Wednesday, August 10th. If you have expressed interest in riding with us, I will have all of the details you have been asking for. The reason there was a delay is that the van had what appeared to be a catastrophic meltdown on the way to mission trip, but it appears to have been fixed. I am going to drive the van a bunch this week to ensure that the issues have been worked out as much as I humanly can.

I have not forgotten your offer! I'm just checking on lodging at Nats.

currently, I am driving myself and browarod (scott) up from the Milwaukee/Oconomowoc, WI area to NATS. If anyone else needs a ride from that area, please ask me asap. I MIGHT be able to accommodate, but i would need to know soon.

Mr.Hiatus · « **Reply #45 on:** July 21, 2011, 10:23:51 PM »

Chris give me a call sometime soon so we can work out details for nationals. I plan on driving to your place, and me and you going from there.
