Time: 7:00 PM

I'm teaching a class that day, but can probably be there around 8:00-8:30. I will not be relying on MARTA, so maybe I will actually make it this time.

Gosh, perhaps I will be able to make it this time! I was well and truly snowed in over the weekend that the last one was organized for ... :)

I will put this on my calendar and plan to attend!

If you plan to drive over from TN via I-75 Debs, this is actually an advantage; Marietta is on "your" side of the big "A". :)

...as for me, I am still struggling to scrape up enough Obama Bucks for the Mayaguana liveaboard adventure. :bye: If I manage to make that trip it then means my return flight 17 April would likely not reach Atlanta in time to make the HH. :) At least I would be driving from the airport and thus avoiding Marta's propensity for Saturday evening mishaps. :) Will have to see how the flight shakes out, but would enjoy attending if I can make it work.

Yes, it's been a while since I have visited Atlanta so I had forgotten that is actually closer to me ... Good deal!

I have been trying to figure out if I could afford that live-aboard too. Unfortunately I am still waiting for the final bill on my car that has been in "dry dock" since November ... Hope you can make both the trip and the HH! :)
Cheers!

Just kickin' this back into play; if I find a little time I will try to cobble together another regional email blast a-la' LLDN! :)

Oh, and it now appears the Tax Man will be gobbling up the money I had been holding in reserve, so I will have to reluctantly resign myself to missing Mayaguana (at least with SD this year). :blond: The silver lining is now I can easily confirm for 17 April in Atlanta! :cool1: I'll sign myself up on the top post.

Is this near the airport? I'm relying on OTWDiver to drive us there from the Mayaguana trip. He won't be on it but will be picking me up. So I hope to be there at some point in time! (At least that is what I think Mark and I worked out!) :blond:

If Bill doesn't know where it is, I can help him out there. And if you happen to bump into Brad while at the airport, bring him along, will ya?

No, it's on the northwest side of town, on I-75 just outside I-285 - about 30 miles from the Atlanta airport.

Note - DO NOT use Google Maps to try and find this place. It is WAY off. The Expedia link that Mark posted shows the correct location, as does Bing.

I'm taking this to mean we can reasonably expect you and Bill to arrive at the HH eventually. (It will be good to see Bill again, he was a great host at the the SC HH back in May 2009!) :blond: I'll add you guys to the top post, and will put out an email blast soon.

Just a bump to get it on everyone's radar again. We had good response to the January HH, then the crappy weather scared everyone off. While I can't promise better weather, I sure hope that we won't have snow and ice in April (I, for one, have had about enough of this cold weather).

I have not forgotten about the promised email invitation blast; just thinking the first week of March is an optimal amount of lead time. :thankyou:

Quick Update:

I arrive in Atlanta at 3:30pm! So I should be EARLY to the HH unless we stop at Frys or someplace else concrete that the metropolitan area of Salem, SC does not offer! :iagree:
