Road Trippers: Bus Transportation Option

Cathlete
Hi Road Trippers,

We need your help and feedback regarding transportation between the two hotels and Cathe’s gym. As you know, the hotel is approximately 30 minutes away from the gym.
With 110 Road Trippers, that requires roughly 28 cars to safely transport everyone between both locations.

Based on the responses to date, we are concerned that not everyone has transportation between these two locations. With this in mind, we want to know if you are interested in another option available to all Road Trippers. We are exploring the possibility of hiring a bus to transport us between the gym and the hotels. This bus will provide the following transportation:
• Saturday, 7:00 AM pickup at the hotels
• Saturday, 10:30 PM return to the hotels
• Sunday, 6:00 AM pickup at the hotels; including your LUGGAGE!
• Sunday, 8:30 AM, transportation to 5 Points Diner
• Sunday, 11:00 AM transportation back to the hotels directly from the Diner.

Depending on the number of people who ride the bus will help determine the additional fee per person in renting the buses. The maximum cost of riding the bus per person is $13.00. This additional fee is LESS than what it would cost you to rent a car. Of course, an advantage of riding the bus is that someone else is doing the driving for us. Also, you don’t have to worry about getting lost or have the additional stress of finding someone to drive you. Best of all, we all can stay together to continue with our laughter, fun, and getting to know each other more.

For those of you who have rented cars and would prefer to take the bus, there is no penalty in canceling your car reservation.

If you are interested in taking the bus, please respond directly to the three of us as soon as possible so we can reserve the proper number of buses. Only those who sign up for the bus will be allowed to ride on the bus. Payment by check made out to Cathe dot com will be collected on Friday night.

All those who agree to ride the bus are still responsible for transportation between the airport and the hotel. It is strongly recommended that you make your reservations with Rapid Rover for your transportation to the hotel and your return trip to the airport three weeks prior to your arrival.

Thank you,
Debbie H., Kathy S., and Lorrayne

Nadine,

I believe it's 16, including your offer. I need to check my paperwork tomorrow.

However, we're still polling everyone to see if there's interest in a bus.

Thank you,
Lorrayne
 
I just wanted to see if there was anyone arriving on Thursday. My plane gets in at 10:59AM. I am also flying out on Monday at 11:50AM. Does anyone need a ride to the hotel Thursday or to the airport on Monday? I am staying at the Radisson. Please let me know!
 
Yeah! We want to party on the bus! Can we throw LimeCat's helmet to one another while in transit? Come on, everyone! Join in with the rest of us on the fun of taking the bus. Great offer and you won't get lost!!!

Ahem.... there will be no throwing of Limecat's helmet. Unless, of course, you want to incur the wrath of Limecat. No? Didn't think so;)

And I'm not sure I see the point of having our luggage transported from the hotel to the diner and then back again on Sunday morning?
 
Yes, please sign up for the bus, PLEEEEASE! I'm not begging just wishing! The price of gasoline these days makes the bus option great too not to mention, you'll miss the party if you aren't on the bus with us all. Okay, We're waiting on your E-mails! :7

I'm all for the bus...but where can I find the phone number for Rapid Rover? It's probably right in front of my face in one of these posts. Thanks!

Well, most hotels have a check-out time of 10 or 11am, so we'd have to check out before leaving for the gym on Sunday morning. Which means, there would be nowhere to put your luggage if you didn't have a rental car to drive to the airport. So I'm guessing that's why we have to bring our luggage on the bus Sunday morning.
 
Sabrina!

Having drivers was our FIRST option but when we didn't get enough drivers to haul everyone around, we thought of using a bus. Not only will it be safer (IMO) but no one will get lost, unless we all get lost! ;-) and just the fact that we will all be together will be so much fun. Plus, we all arrive at our destination at the same time. I think the fee is excellent due to the high cost of gasoline for all the trips back & forth that they are offering us. It, of course, is not mandatory and feel free to drive if you still prefer. We are in the process still of taking a head count to see that we have enough to make the bus option a go. Sooo, you in??? :7

RE: Sabrina!

Sorry DebbieH I am not in. I am going to squeeze in with Shelley, Emily, and two other (I think one is Angie but I am not sure who else). Thanks!:)
 
RE: Sabrina!

Great Sabrina! We just want to make sure everyone is taken care of. We may have to tell the bus driver to LOOKOUT when we see you guys coming! :7 We'll wave to you from the bus!

RE: Sabrina!

That is a cute bus!! I have not figured out how to get pictures like that on here yet. Or any anything for that matter. LOL! I really should post some pictures sometime too.

Just make sure they let me out of the glove compartment when we get to the gym!;-)
