Dude I'm on the same flight. Are you taking the MARTA train ? Last time I took a cab and it was a bit expensive.

We're flying out of San Jose at 6:15am Wednesday on Delta, non-stop, arriving in Atlanta at 2pm. We don't leave until 7:30pm on Sunday for another non-stop flight home..love those relaxed Sundays after a long weekend, & we'll still be home before 10pm. I've done that 'gotta be on MARTA by 7am Sunday morning' thing more than once, it was a killer.
We're at the GranadaArtmore too..count us in on the grocery run; as long as there are no flight delays, we should be there by 3pm cuz we're planning on just bringing carryons so getting out of the airport will be easy. Ann Marie, do you have my cell #? I have one for you but don't know if it's current..

Me, UnkaKev and Burke will be flying out of Boynton Beach Florida about 5 am on Wednesday. 600 miles at 100 mph will get us into Atlanta in 6 hours.
Wait. That can't be right.
Averaging that fast is illegal.
Leave at 5 am, get into ATL about one. Or two if we stop to eat real food instead of astronaut stuff.

Yeah I take the Marta, much cheaper and it stops right by the Artmore which is where I'm staying. Where are you staying?

If all goes as planned, I'll be arriving Sunday to hang with the locals and then head to the RI on Wednesday, then fly home sometime on Sunday.

I am on a US Airways flight that arrives at 3:46 PM on Wednesday. I head out on Sunday at 5:50 PM.
US Airways is the world's suckiest airline for redeeming frequent flier miles for free travel...but I *did* manage to snag an upgrade to First Class for this trip. Woo hoo!
Good idea. I called the Residence this week and they SWORE that my room was guaranteed. So I called the Artmore (which I had booked as soon as the dates were announced) to see if I could transfer my reservation over to someone else. They said they couldn't do that, because the hotel was overbooked. I'm sure they are overbooked *every* year...and then they get a lot of last-minute cancellations as people's plans change. Still, it's probably a good idea to have a backup plan!
:zombie: My flight out my first year was at about 9:00 a.m. on Sunday, and that still sucked! As you said, never again.

We're staying at the Artmore. Somehow I managed to snag a room there, but we still have our original reservations for the Sucky 8 down the street.

Hopefully the Ardmore or what ever the hell it is called! So it appears that we will be in the same place again (I assume you were at Techwood last year with Steve).
I dunno, Delta has become major pricks over the last two years. Dave, Michelle and I have been in their FFplan for over 6 years and they've become more and more difficult to use. Going Continental One Pass next year. First class? Lucky girl!
Yea, they do that every year, and it "usually" works out but I've seen people show up on Thursday with confirmed reservations and get the shaft. Another reason to arrive on Wednesday.

Correct. The Courtyard was a good hotel, but I'd like to have something a bit closer this year!
Though I do hear that the 14th street bridge may be open by PP time.

That's why I'm keeping my original reservation at the Super 8 down the street. But this year, if the Artmore is overbooked, where would they send us? Since they're not a Best Western anymore, they can't send us to another BW. I wonder how that would work this time?

I'll be in Atlanta on Tuesday....but I'll be leaving. At least temporarily....
I'll be in Atlanta from the preceding Thursday up 'til Tuesday, staying downtown for Dragon*Con (I'm a director for the convention), going home that night, then to work on Wednesday and heading directly to the Midweek show Wednesday night.....
Driving home afterward, then driving down for good on Thursday and staying at the, uh, GrenArtmore. 2-BR suite, so I might have a bit of extra room if someone needs it depending on who else is staying there. I have a backup reservation at the Inn at the Peachtrees, since I know the history of the GrenArtmore.

It's 1026, not 1028 according to the Delta website. The flight now leaves at 7:16, I guess when I originally bought it the scheduled departure was a few minutes earlier. So it looks like all 3 of us are on the same flight.

They sent us to the Colony Square hotel for a night last year (despite my already-paid-for reservation for one of the apartment rooms..which they gave to someone else). It was a nasty ass place; moldy stench from the AC, cigarette burns on the bedspread, & housekeeping pounding on the door despite the do not disturb sign, wtf. The Granada had one unhappy camper on their hands the next morning (and in their defense, did right by me quite promptly).
That said, it's hard to say if they've kept their connections to the same overflow hotels or not since changing from the Granada to the Artmore.
