The commute between New London and Fall River is less than 90 minutes, from New London to Boston around 2 1/2 hours in traffic, but it's Portsmouth to New London I'm worried about. Driving three hours straight, on the last day of the meet, on an empty stomach, with the sun setting, and with the passenger-side navigator shouting steering instructions across three or four states...well, it just doesn't sound like fun! :o

Actually, driving through Providence is never fun, but you get the point.
Well, Providence traffic at its worst is a wide open road compared to Boston/Rt-128 commute traffic but maybe you should begin and end in the Boston area seeing as that is where most people will be flying in and out from.

I'm still 50/50. I want to go, but I have at this moment not a clue whatsoever, if I will be able to...

Sooner is always better. It's only $50! In any case, we will try diligently to assist each and every member, you know me :shucks: In the last Houston meeting I ran a shuttle to both Houston airports for the whole day, and glad to do it. So, if you decide to wait, we will still help you find room. Chances are, it's possible that the camp house inn will not be sold out until a month in advance, who knows. Plus I already have two overflow venues.

I'd love to join you guys, I'm not going to be sure of my financial situation until, maybe late April early May.

I can just imagine everyone now
"WAIT...you're SH427??"

but then, my girlfriend's coming back in July, and she usually has a few bucks floating around for such things. I might just make a roadtrip out there. Cheaper than a flight, most likely.

:hmmm:
decisions decisions.

To make it easy, I'll decide.

You should come :O:

I've reserved the cabins for Sept 23, 24, and 25. If we have an overnight at BB Cove, we can amend that.
Cost is relatively cheap, around $55 to $85 per cabin, per night. That can be split 2 and 3 ways.

Any chance our cabins will be sightly cozier than this?

Seriously though, I can chip in if anyone really wants to come but can't afford to pay for accommodations. Got a link with some info on these cabins, Neal? Thanks.

Oh, and sorry I didn't get a chance to check out any possible sites these last couple months. I meant to ask before I went down to Groton on May 30th, but my mind must have slipped.

If so are everything ready...

A stay aboard the Massachusetts is going to require sleeping bags. The racks are just heavy duty canvas stretched across a metal frame.

I just didn't want anyone's vergyner to start hurting because they expected a nice cushy VIP bunk like what Subnuts posted. :D

I'm a bit late here but Bas and myself are in for the cabins. Not that camping is my biggest hobby but the idea of having a base HQ worked perfect in Denmark.

Two questions though:

We're thinking of going to the US one day earlier, so arrive on Wednesday the 22nd, and it would be convenient to be able to use a cabin then already to prevent us from having to move around too much. Is that possible? And how do we go about arranging this?

And how/when/where would you like our $100 deposit sir? :salute:

Yes it is possible. I'd say contact the place directly if you want an extra day(s). But FYI it's not going to be "camping" like you're thinking of it. they're actually pretty modern cottages.

Neal is handling the money for the meet.

It's right next to the Millstone nuclear power station, so it will be just like being on a sub! (grin)

There are three or four good seafood places in the area as well. (I live nearby in Waterford)

Now there is a bit of information. How close? Are we going to glow in the dark if we stay there?
