dagarhart

I am planning on going from phoenix.

KooLAiD

Yeah, but if memory serves me correctly we have to roll through Tucson to get to Roswell...not positive on that though???

I vote for an early roll-out with out a stop per hour rate!!! Say 3:30 AM Roll-In for Best Buy on Ray and I-10 and then 4:00 AM departure??? That's my 1 1/2 cents!

RockBlocker

Yes, you do roll thru Tucson. Last year all you fools that left at 4 am got to Roswell what 15 minutes before the 7 am crowd Told ya TTownxb Was fast , we just drafted him

Haha yeah it was only a 15 hour trip... then took me 6 hours to get back I am going to roll out a day early to get there and relax No stress for me this trip.

KooLAiD

No kids or dogs for me and I will be just fine on this trip! No one in particular is being singled out here, but last year we had to make a lot of extra stops for silly things! Not this year baby!!!

Well all of us that left at 4 AM made many stops for breakfast or potty breaks. I like a trip where everyone works together and you don't feel like you have to ____ in an empty PEPSI bottle while driving because people won't want to stop.

I don't know if we need to leave at 4, maybe 5 would be ok and maybe one less stop that last year but I definetely want to make sure we have enough time to wash the cars when we get there.

I also would like to try and stick around the speed limit on the drive so none of us get pulled over on the trip. I remember some parts of the road out there were horrible from construction and if i hit that at 90 miles an hour i could do some damage.

KooLAiD

Okay, yet again we all have completely different ideas and there are only four of us talking about this. I am throwing this out there and whoever wants to join in this group is more then welcome to, but this is what I am doing for the trip.....

3:30 Roll-In/4:00 AM Departure Time
Best Buy; I-10 & Ray Rd.
Will not make anyone pee in a Pepsi bottle, but won't be doing the speed limit either...probably doing 10 - 15 over. Thinking two, maybe three stops total on the trip to gas, pee and eat all in one stop. Should roll into Roswell around 2:00 at the latest. Check into the hotel and then off to the Mexican restaraunt by the Hampton Inn for drinks and whatever...

I will DEFINITLY be joining you all for the drinks at the resturaunt! I missed so many good times last year trying to work / play that it sucked. Cannot wait to hang with you guys! Koolaid, did you already book your room..?

KooLAiD

Kind of...I made a call this morning to see about some group things and am just waint for an answer back...some time this afternoon they said. Thinking about the Hampton again because it is walking or should I stay stumbling distance from the Mexican restaraunt...literally next door.

hahaha sweet. yeah I put in a call as well to reserve parking and that sorta thing.. This time away from any sprinklers or weed wackers that I heard about...

KooLAiD

Yeah the guy mowing the dirt field at midnight was pretty sweet last year. So glad I got a jump on detailing my car! BASTAGE!!!!!!!

I am sure they can reserve us any parking we want. They had some down the front and along the side...front was nice because we were right there...didn't hear anything about sprinklers, that would suck royally!!!

Yeah I never saw any of it, just heard about it. Will make sure it goes better this year.

I just called the Hampton and talked to the manager about the incident last year and she wasn't sure who could have been mowing over there that late at night. The hotel doesn't own the land so there is nothing they can do about it.

I asked if they have parking sanctioned off again and she said it wasn't requested so there isn't this time but they could do something in the back if you request it. I'm not too sure how much i like the idea of parking in the back.

I would like to stay at the Marriott where i did last year which was nice but sucks not being with everyone else at the Hampton and worrying about having to drive back to my room at night., Looks like i'll be staying at the Hampton most likely.

KooLAiD

The Hampton was a little further away from the dealer, but was very accomidating with us. I can't remember who I spoke to this morning, but they were supposed to be getting back to me about the parking and things like that. I will call them again when I get off work around 3 and get some defenite info to post up. But yeah, loved that Mexican place and defenitely want to stumble, I mean walk home from there Friday night!

moonray

Yah they had some very good food.

NoLimitzBuilt

I am not sure what time I will be leaving. I am not in a huge hurry.

I had to make a couple of those stops.. LOL Mc Donalds and energy drinks dont combine..

oldskool

Well the time is ok for us I like leaving early, the earlier the better for me I get up around 2am in the morning. so I'm ready to go. Were going to be staying at the Best Western Sally Port Inn.

I remember hearing something about "your" stops on the way to Roswell. And I think someone had taken some pic's of before and after. Haahahaha. The stories were way too funny in the parking lot at the hotel that night!!!

A 5am roll out from Best buy I like the sound of that. Come on Kyle It's only 1 more hour.
