We have been talking about this for a few weeks now, so I figured I'd update the Thread.
Could a MOD please Sticky Note this thread? Thanks, Billy
Okay, I have some info that might help some of you decide if you want to go along on this trip. I'm looking at either April 16th to April 18th or April 23rd to April 25th. Hotels/Motels seem to be pricing from $50 a night and up. Depending how far from the City Center we are staying. Also, I plan on driving up and will have 4 available seats in my SUV if anyone wants to catch a ride. All I ask is that you pitch in for Gas/Tolls. Once I get a solid number of those wanting to go and where they'd like to stay, I'll book rooms and such. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, please speak up and let us know what you have in mind. This is a trip for us all, so we should all enjoy and be able to do what we want.
Another idea I thought of would be to leave real early on Saturday morning. That would save money on the hotel stay, plus those of you that have to work that Friday or have school, wouldn't have to worry about missing a class or use a sick/vacation day or make that long drive after you got off work or school. From where I live in Jersey, Map Quest say's it's 5 hours to Cooperstown. I can leave Friday or Saturday, dosen't matter to me, but I wanted to get a idea of what you all thought would work best for you. Also, the web site says that Active Duty/Retired Military get in free, so that saves me money and maybe some of you. If none of you are active or retired military, I'd be willing to split up the cost to offset the prices for you. If we had 5 paying, then we could split admission by six and you all could save $2 or $3.
There is also a Card Show going on not to far from cooperstown on Sunday April 18th.

So now I need to get an idea of what weekend works for you. Please let me know via PM or leave your dates here. I will keep this thread going until the middle of Feb so that gives others time to plan or decide.
On a side note.....I ask that if you agree to go on this Field Trip, then please be certain that you can go. Those that will be going are probably going to be figuring out a budget for themselves (i know I will be) and if people back out, costs go up for the rest of us. I understand things come up in life that we can't control like sickness, being laid off, starting new jobs, ect., but please be considerate to the others.
Thanks to everyone,
Billy
