Default 2011 ToD Florida bugavan planning thread

As we're approaching the last quarter of 2010, it's time for us to start making our plans for the FL leg of the 2011 ToD bugavan.

Early, advance planning is how we roll

Our bugavan will be pretty much as designed for the past 2 years.
* various spurs of bugavans (South FL, West FL, North FL) converging at the I-10/I-75 junction, to meet the Georgia contingency in Atlanta.
*The FL/GA bugavan will then trek to Bryson City to join the 2011 ToD collective.

The bugavans will depart in the wee hours of the morning, to make it to ATL by mid-morning.

Michelle (MichelleRoze) is the head of the GA bugavan and will be chiming in to coordinate with us Florida folk.

The time is NOW to plan. I suggest making vacation/time off plans with your employers first of the year, if they allow such advance notice.

Your posting on this thread is essential. Again, we operate on advance planning. If you have other travel plans, that's cool- see you in Bryson City. If you plan on joining the bugavan, we need you input as well as you keeping the lines of communication open.

Let the fun begin. Getting there is the adventure! Join us as we make our annual migration to Bryson City for ToD 2k11~

Well, like always, we like to get to Bryson City nice and early in the evening so we have a good long while to chat it up with people and enjoy Pizza! Bryson City isn't that far from Atlanta, it takes us, what 3 - 3 1/2 hours tops if we take the fun curvy road! So, let's plan folks!!! Still up for Chipotle when we meet up in Buford?

That very thought crossed my mind Gary. I'll get that posted in the southeast section soon.

If we can coordinate things and the GA crew says the same, I wouldn't mind getting in Bryson City a little earlier. I would really like to see the bugavans from other regions make their way in to "the top". We're still in the early stages, so we'll see what happens.

Which ever you want to do Al. You Floridians have a LONG drive just to get to ATL. So, unless you come up the night before or leave freakishly early in the AM. lol But if we meet up around noonish we can be there by 3pm or so.

And...our carabugavan will be a few bugs larger this time with the new additions to the GA/FL area! How exciting!

I hear ya Michelle- the carabugavans will be larger all across the region. You know Val and I can make it up there the day beforer no problem, but the way our vacation times are, it's for the best for us driving up on Friday. Besides the carabugavan is an adventure I don't wanna miss.

If my geography is correct, the Mississippi and Alabama folk will skirt past your area. Maybe Super M and noR will make it to ToD this year. Guess we can put some feelers out and see if they want to get a carabugavan started for their region.

I'm hoping some of the St. Auggie attendees who didn't make it to ToD this time around.

So far, Charles (CJ)- FL_bug is the only SoFL orger that I know of. Jason/Severe is out of Tampa and will be attending again as well. I'd hit them up with a PM and introduce yourself, and get the SoFL buzz workin'.
