Need Travel contacts...

[therock1811]

I'm traveling from Florence to Tampa, FL starting Saturday at noon...we're going straight down I-75 all the way but may wind up taking circle routes like I-285 around ATL or 275 around the Tampa metro...I need anyone who is willing and able to tell me ANYTHING about conditions, construction, etc. (in TN, GA or FL) to PM me their phone #'s so that I can call via cell phone and try to get up to date info as I do travel this weekend...again please PM me your contact info...thanks...

Have a safe trip little buddy. I do know that parts of 75 were closed around FT. Lauderdale due to fires and 0 visibility.

275 around Atlanta, all I can say is be careful of the crazy drivers there.

Bump!

Have a safe trip! Can't help much with the travel info though.

Anyone who might be traveling to Phoenix in June...just remember two things. Sun screen and sun screen.

Be safe on your trip to Florida.

285 around Atlanta is a traffic nightmare, but all the roads in Atlanta are, LOL. You've been warned. Have a good trip.

John I actually will be about 25 miles west of you...

Linda as far as I know we won't be that far south...but I'm unsure...we may be taking a short trip toward Ft Lauderdale.

Jeremy - does your family have AAA services? It costs roughly about $60 a year. For that fee you're entitled to trip tics, maps, tour books, travel brochures. Probably more with tow truck services, I've never needed that service though, thankfully. I do know if time is of the essence and you're a AAA member already, you can download a trip tic. Trip tics are great b/c they contain current road construction areas. We have our vacation booked in July and I have on my calendar a reminder to order my Trip Tic the week before. AAA doesn't even want to issue them far ahead, they check road conditions daily I get the impression. Another nice perk from AAA is discounted tickets to Kings Island, the Aquarium, and a long list of places like that. You can just present your AAA card at various museums, for a few bucks off. I'd say by year's end, we've certainly used up that service fee! With a Kings Island day ticket running about $44 bucks I heard, it's worth it having a AAA membership. We also purchase our kids KI annual passes - they're still $79.99. They don't even have to go 2 complete times to recoup the pass price.

What happened to the noon ET departure? Have a GREAT time, Jeremy!

[therock1811]

Well we found out it was 15 hours drive time and dad wants to get a little rest in our cabins before they do the lifeboat drill at around 3pm ET Sunday...so we're trying to get there early...however it might wind up that we'll get there well before they start letting ppl on the boat which is at 1:30pm...say around 0700...

[therock1811]

I'm on the boat as we roll to the south of Mobile (rough estimate)...thanks for the prayers but do continue them as we continue to cruise...
