I elect Runner, provided he gets picked up at the airport.

Good morning all,  Well there is only 100 days till the great Expo days.  I was wondering how many of our forum members will attend. It would be great to see a list of members who plan on going and how far  you have to travel and how will you get there.
  I will be going, coming from Southern NH, and will be driving.

1. Ollevon from Southern NH, driving.
2. Randy and Sue from Northern Virginia, driving.
3. Jim Mueller and wife from Charlottesville, VA, driving.
4. John Siekirk from Michigan, driving.
   
5. Zephyrus52246 Jeff, flying.
6. Diane and Jerry with Zoey, from NJ, driving.
7. coors2u, from North Carolina, driving.
8. Mark Dalrymple, flying from Christchurch, New Zealand to New York (via Auckland and Los Angeles), then a bus to Scranton. (( WOW! ))
9. Raymo, from the northeast corner of Mass., driving
10. ACL1504 Tom and Reading Bob, from Orlando, Fl. driving.
11. Hal Reynolds, driving from Swampscott, MA with the Royal cargo of King Frary.
12. DaveInTheHat, from Pennsy, driving
13. Dave and Bonny, from north-central Ohio, driving.

So far that's 20..."OK who is charge of the cocktail party?" and beer garden? ??

If we schedule a forum dinner this year we should stay away from Thursday evening.  There are premium clinics scheduled.  I need to look at the schedule again is there anything scheduled for Friday evening?

Got it!

[MAP]

I'll be there unless work throws me a curve ball.  Google Maps tells me I'm 149 miles away (coming from Ct). I usually ride over with Mr. Seckler, but I may have to drive solo this year. 

[Janbouli]

Wish I could attend , but the fact it is in March and I would like to combine this with a golfing trip or something like that just doesn't work out for me.

[jbvb]

I plan to attend, though I haven't booked anything yet. I'll be driving (probably by myself) from a few miles east of Dan, in Rockingham County, NH.  When I tried to drive I84 last July, I gave up at Port Jervis because PA had decided to rebuild every bridge from there to Scranton all at once and the backup stretched for miles.  I wonder what pleasant surprise they might have for me this March?

[NEMMRRC]

I plan to be there.


I'm hoping to fly in to PHL and then drive there on the blue route or the red route or the green route or drone other route.


In lieu of a dinner THE Runner suggested a meet and mingle last year and that way lots of folks could drown in and out as they could.

I'm flying from San Diego CA (where I will have been at an industry convention for a few days) into Newark NJ.  I'll be driving over to Scranton Wednesday 25th for the EXPO and back on Sunday 29th while my wife visits family in Brooklyn NY.  For what it is worth to those who still need to book airline tickets - in my case the cost of adding Newark/Scranton/Newark flights to my air travel was more than the cost of renting a car.


Crazy itinerary but serves me right for voting "yes" at the 2013 EXPO to hold the next one in Spring!


Unfortunately the EXPO organizers have not already posted the Layout Tours schedule.  I booked early to get an economic airline fare so my schedule will probably preclude me visiting layouts.  Same thing happened last year that caused me to miss the F&SM open house.
