Location: south east Michigan | I can't beleive, even booking this early, how much it costs to fly from Detroit to New England. I could fly to the west coast for less.
It's a 10 hour drive for me but even with gas prices where they are I would save $120. And.. I can bring two guitars without haveing to worry about baggage handlers. I'm thinking on bringing the Breadwinner this year to give people who have never tryed one a chance to play. |

Location: closely held secret | Yep. I've actually found lower fares by taking longer routes. It's not so much about where you want to go, as it is about which seats they have trouble filling. |

Location: Keller, TX | OK, for the newbies (not me), can someone list the details of getting TO the factory/hotel?
Which airport do I fly into?
Which hotel are we staying at?
Yeah, I know I can do a search of last years info (or find a map), but can someone list it for the others here (not me)? |

Location: 6 String Ranch | No, I sold the 59 caddy so there's no longer a guest suite available. My doublewide on the hill is 45 minutes the other side of the factory and there's no pool so Homewood Suites is the way to go.
Those booking flights into Bradley the airport identifier is BDL. |
