Roll Call 2007

So may I add you to the growing list under hotels?

I'd say it's 50/50 probability at this point. If I buy an airline ticket, I'll let you know. (That'll be the clincher.) Right now it sort of depends on a couple imponderables.

Recruit, recruit, recruit!

If PyrateCon in the Crescent City can pull off "Seven...Hundred...and...Fifty...Pirates" as you said in another post, then I say why let a couple miles of blue-green sea stand in the way of going-or not going? :D;)

The die has been cast. I purchased the tickets direct into EYW yesterday for the week leading into pirate fest. ($411 from DTW to EYW with 2 brief layovers! Last time I did that it cost me $587! That was 2 years ago and gas is so much more expensive now! Amazing...) I'm still trying to figure out a good place stay this time. (Something away from the main drag with a fridge for my insulin, peaceful with fairly private quarters.) My long time favorite KW hostelry turned condo just weeks after I left last time. (Although my being there or leaving had nothing to do with this. As far as I know. A moment of silence for The Colony Cottages. *sniff* I was a regular contributor to their bottom line.)

Michael Bagley is generously helping me out with an outfit appropriate to an pirate appropriated surgeon. (My character.) Now I must really look to making up a fairly period correct surgeon's kit... (If only I had paid more attention to the surgeon's exhibit at Sid Meir's museum last time...)

Try Travelocity! I used the +/- one day option when looking for rates (since I didn't particularly care when I left). Being as I'm leaving right after TG, Friday is the best day to leave for me. I've used them repeatedly and always been pretty happy. Plus I have a growing list of emails that tell me to have a good trip to KW in my Inbox. One of the few things I save over time...

Why is everything scheduled for the weekend after TG? I'm missing a corporate-paid trip to Vegas to attend Autocad University to do this! Overall, that's ok, Vegas isn't really my thing - well, except Treasure Island Ts. The T-shirt I bought there was expensive as bloody hell, but it's stood up better than most Ts I've bought, so I guess it might almost, maybe, possibly be worth it. I'll be sorry to miss the University, though. Alas.

I'm returning Monday so's I don't miss whatever happens on Sunday. I imagine it's pretty low key on Sunday, though.

You can usually find a prop plane leaving from south Florida cities to KW airport for $100 - $200 round trip. You might save money with Spirit and a small air service if you look. Plus, the problem with cars is always where to put them. Key West is a small island and sometimes you have to pay the hotel for the parking space because it's at such a premium in Old Town. I don't know the circs of the parking for Fort Zach, though. As I recall, it's got a reasonable amount of parking spaces available and they may have set up something special for the pirateers. I'm sure William could tell you more about that. (For myself, I am bringing my bike and will probably only rent a car for a day so's I can visit Pigeon Key (probably a convertible) and make the bike trip on the portion of the old 7 Mile Bridge that is open to Pigeon. Plus I have to visit the No Name Pub...it's tradition. <_< )

Add me to the roster this year, I just ordered my tickets! It'll be great to see some new faces as well as old. I've camped out the last 2 times I was down for PiP, but this will be the first "period camp" I've been in down there. I am so looking forward to this year!
