So, missing:

Thursday (10th) and Friday (11th)

Wednesday (16th), Thursday (17th), Friday 18th), and Saturday (19th)

 

Do we need one for arrival day Thursday (10th)?

Do we need one for departure day Saturday (19th)?

We could organize to share a cab in arrival day, if use of public transport is not advisable.

 

Friday is the only day with a deficit in car space, but probably we would be moving by public transport in NOLA.

 

Harold will rent a car after Shep's departure for home.

 

In the 19th, Orlando hotel offers a free airport shuttle, so no need for car.

Public transport in NOLA is terrible when you go between Jefferson and Orleans Parish. I highly recommend rideshare.

[Allan W]

My flight gets in to NOLA at 14:48. If anyone else is arriving around that time, Im happy to play shuttle driver to the hotel.

I think one needs to add the number to the Outlook contact group in order to display the name.

[Harold Jones]

if you add your name at sign in it will display the phone number and name in tiny print next to it. If you add the person to your contacts it will then just display their name.

[shep854]

Thanks. One contact is just showing a numberon my phone.

Sounds like those not of Sam have got their clearances so the mobilization rumbles on. Still plenty of time for any additional attendees to declare of course.

[shep854]

Glad the plan is coming together!

[Markus Becker]

A plan come together is is a precondition for it coming apart (at the most inopportune moment).

Hush your mouth!!! Sounds like you Yurro's are getting through the travel quagmire in fair order...

Stop with them negative waves.

[Markus Becker]

Yes, Moriarty!

OK, with much hand-holding from Sunday, I have everything booked. The ways of airline pricing are Byzantine and I've saved £200 by not going premium economy, which is nice.

 

The American habit of hiding the total cost of purchasing a room annoys - hiding taxes until the end is a bit duplicitous.

[Harold Jones]

As the start date for this extravaganza is rapidly approaching it's probably time to start looking at what we want to see and do at the space center. https://www.kennedyspacecenter.com/ There are many options and we all don't have to do the same things while there. I'm planning on doing the Cape Canaveral Early Space tour which is an add on that will take up about 3 hours.

I'm probably only going to make it on Saturday in New Orleans due to work, and also the logistical part of driving from Lafayette to New Orleans and back on Saturday evening.

Weekend traffic that bad?
