We will be making a stop either on the way out or on the way back to meet KeithVibe (Keith) and on Saturday I will be having lunch with HSkater26 (Patrick). This will be a really cool trip. I am soo excited! I also ordered a AVS Bug deflector for the Vibe to avoid getting more stone chips in my hood. I am not a big fan of how they look but I would rather have that get dented up instead of my hood. :)

We will be driving out there in one day. Seeing as I have not traveled very much we are turning this trip to a LAN party into a 5 day road trip. We will start off on Wednesday night and drive to New York, NY. We will spend Thursday in NY and then drive to Boston, MA and spend Friday in Boston. The convention officially starts on Friday but there is really not much going on in ways of tournaments and/or gaming so we are going to the convention in Providence, RI for Saturday to Sunday and then making the drive back home hopefully landing back home sometime Monday.

I have made a road trip plan on the AAA website and estimated that taking my Pontiac Vibe will cost us about $0.11 per mile for gas. If we were to take my Chrysler Voyager will bring the price per mile for gas up to $0.17 a mile. We will most likely take the Vibe due to its creature comforts and the fact that it’s a more reliable and newer vehicle. The van is a 2000 while the Vibe is a 2005 and is very well kept.

Either way I plan on bringing my Laptop and my Nikon D50. I am super excited and it’s less than a month away! Woohoo!!!
