I know we have some traveling to do. But when? Our last meeting on Thursday mentioned we would know by Friday....here it is Monday and nothing. I am not complaining, I am just think of the others who need to put time in for work. I did a little research for the team for traveling:
Greyhound (slow but cheap) can leave Tacoma (9/28) at 7:30am and arrive SF 6pm the following day. Return (10/1) at 1am and arrive in Tacoma 4pm the following day. This is the very long way but at $153.00 for the round trip..... a lot cheaper than taking the drive
I did look at the cost of getting a charter bus. Depends on the number but that is a possibility....if we have at least 35 people going. The bus can run anywhere from 3K-5K, which would run around 80.00 per, plus they can pull a trailer (some companies), and some buses come with a bathroom, and a dvd/vcr player.
Southwest was the cheapest airfare I could find....almost 300.00 and that's to Oakland. It got fairly cheap when looking at Houston though (not looking past our other game). For that we are looking at $380.00 per....but there is a group discount depending on the numbers. The group rate is by 10's....i. e. group of 10, 20, 30---18 people would still be grouped at the 10 rate, 21 at 20 and so on. The person I talked to said the larger the group the lower the cost. It's to late to get a group rate to SF, and I am still waiting to hear from Alaska Airlines on thier group rate.
Hope someone to hear what our plan is, and hope this helps.
