There are a few different airports you could fly in to. Depends on the airfare and how far you are willing to drive once you land. Check out this link or go directly to the website and look under "Transportation."

I should open up Hotel De JR and pick everyone up at the Allentown airport.

What should I charge for room and board and taxi fare :?:

Hehe...enough to cover your entrance into the tourney... :lol:

A pat on the back.. you need some not coming from yourself.

oh burn.

Pick up at LVIA? It'd probably be easier to get a flight into Philadelphia, at the rate LVIA loses it's flights pretty soon it'll just be an international airport.

I like Jim Thorpe, when I was a little kid my parents always took my sister and I up to ride in the trains every Easter and see the Easter Bunny.

So who is flying the flag for CC?

by **gethine** on Wed Jul 25, 2007 11:49 am

will there be updates of which ccers join the tourny on this thread? so that we can cheer them on(or watch them crash and burn)

Can you guys set up a live 'net broadcast? :lol:

by **hulmey** on Wed Jul 25, 2007 2:07 pm

yeah would be fun to know if any CC'ers are going to be flying the colours!!!

by **Steelhorse** on Wed Jul 25, 2007 2:12 pm

Hmmm...a live net broadcast would be cool. Although, I dont' think it's a Conquer Club vs. RiskTOC thing. As far as I know, CC'ers play at RiskTOC and RiskTOC players play on CC.

What I can tell you, is that it is my sole intention to kick azz regardless of who you are or where you play. :twisted:

i really really want to go, i need to stop spending money on pot so that i can afford it.

by **IRTOC** on Wed Jul 25, 2007 9:57 pm

If you can get a great deal to LVIA, it is only a 40 minute drive or better depending on traffic.

If you fly to Philadelphia, your looking at a short ride down I-95 South (Approx 6 miles) then a straight shot north on the PA turnpike 476 North to our location. Approx 2 hrs

Newark Airport in New Jersey can also be cheap but your looking at a more difficult drive to our location compared to the others listed.

If your a GUNG-HO driver and like a challenge

then JFK in NY is your choice but that is too far in my opinion. But hey if you can nail down a $75 round trip to JFK then go for it. PS: If you find one please PM me.

Whatever way you decide to travel, you won't be dissapointed, we aim to please! See you in October

If you're really interested in going and would need a hotel room, talk to me (or perhaps JR if he was serious). I'm within an hour of there and I plan on going, so you'd have a ride as well.

Sounds sexy. I may just give this a whirl. I'd have to get the parents on board though.

If you're offering RK a ride, I'd make sure you knew exactly what you were volunteering for beforehand. :lol:
