We drive. It's about 8 hours from Jacksonville to Key West, but we usually take two days so we don't have to rush and risk missing the Overseas Highway in the daylight. There are way too many fun things to stop for between Alabama Jack's and Mallory Square! Last year we did the usual and left Jacks...

When we drive to N.J. we can make it in 5 and 1/2 hours if we leave early.

I'm hoping that's how long it will take us to get to Pittsburgh. With the car, we should be okay. The RV prolly would take forever. You can't exactly fly in those things.

We will most likely be in KW from the preMOTM Sunday 10/30 until the post MOTM Monday 11/7 (my birthday! W8)W!). And congrats, spainjane! Maybe things actually do happen for good reasons...[/b][/color] :D Thank you! We should be getting in/leaving the exact same days as you! Are you driving or flyi...

woooohoooo! We're in! Hubby won a travel voucher for being such a hard worker! It was for 2004, and we were supposed to use it for a cruise with friends, but it came too late- which at first was a sad/bad thing. Now it's awesome that we had to find an "alternate" use before it expired!!! I...

Wow! You're birthday is 2 days before David's!

ooooooh, that's so not right!

We get in sometime Saturday also. We're driving... you can rent our convertible for a reasonable fee as soon as we get there! (save us on parking fees! hehee) And for the record, I always listen to the voice of reason. Then I say "that's nice"or "yes, dear" if the voice is coming...

Regular parking is $30 and $120 for RV's. VIP Parking is $100 and has to be reserved in advance. The way I see it our options are; 1. Skip setting up a tailgate and go to the bars instead. 2. Tailgate somewhere else and then start seeking transportation to town (PNC) :pirate: 3. Show up at the same...

I have a nameless, faceless DJ to thank. In college, late 80's, at the Knight Club in New brunswick, NJ. He played mostly Buffett, every night. I'd love to find that man and buy him a beer! He changed my life!

I'm from East Hanover. We met you and your husband at Margaritaville and took a taxi from the Flamingo to Tommy Rockers with you. Also back to our hotels after LMS. Can't wiat for Pittsburgh. We will have to meet for drinks. ooops! Of course I remember you! And that line about the slots jumping out...

YOU'VE HEARD OF IT !?!?!?!
yes

Yup! We were there!
LMS was a good time...
See ya in Pittsburgh!!

...Staying on the naughty list seems to come easy around here!

So after many years of trying to get tickets, I lucked out this year and scored my tickets to my first Buffett concert! I also went the whole show and bought the tailgating ticket too. My question is what to expect? What time do people show up for tailgating and is there any sort of protocol? I cer...

oops! Just noticed we're on the naughty list...
incoming!

so maybe I should put the blender in my suitcase?

too funny!

I guess I was thinking that we'd be in bars the whole time, and forced to just buy drinks.

Plastic containers is a good idea...
Should we bring booze too?

Ar you allowed to "bring your own" to the street party?

We've never been to a Buffett show without a vehicle/tailgate before.
Don't need the chairs, or the blender. The canopy can stay home.
I'm not sure what to pack!

Got lanyards, tags and beads.
camera
need to find my hat...
what else?

Any vegas veterans with suggestions?
