Possible Itineraries

Sounds like you made yourself the official host this time around.

I'm in!

Hmmm...if someone knew an O-8 who might come along, could they get the flag cabin on the Massachusettes?

I'm just an Indian in all this. You'd have to see the chiefs, Neal and Subnuts.

Neal PMed me a rough-draft itinerary a couple days back. It looks fine, although the Battleship Cove details need a little...polishing.

Watch this forum in the next couple weeks.

I'm sure they do. Just not the eating and drinking part...

I just found a book today on the USS albacore which made money leave my pocket.I hope that we can work that into the schedule also.

Below is Neals original tentative itinerary for comparison. It has some details that the other one doesn't and I need to jibe the two. Remember nothing besides the start end dates has been fixed yet so it's all still subject to change/debate/modification. Here's your chance to give input and i'd appreciate hearing your ideas/concerns/suggestions.

For one thing I think a Boston start/end would be a lot easier and cheaper for those who are flying in but if we're going to get a tour of Sonalysts and a Navy presentation!!!!!!!!one!!11!! that's probably going to have to happen on a weekday as opposed to the weekend day. On the other hand the Constitution and Battleship cove will be open every day of the meet (except monday for the Connie). There is a couple other things that would need to be adjusted too which i'll get into later if they still need to be.

Anyways here it is:

Banzai!!!

Sounds great August, "you da man!" Home base of Boston sounds fine. Are we going to have a single hotel to stay in the other nights, for ease of keeping people together?

I like the itinerary (except for the 630 am part)

I'll post more stuff as I think about it.
