Plane Tickets

Unread postby sdvaulter06 » Tue Jun 21, 2005 8:34 pm

Ok I am looking at plane tickets right now and I am thinking of the August 4th to August 7th camp and Should I fly out on the 4th or the 3rd? If I fly out the 3rd I would have to probably get a hotel room! And Hopefully I could get a flight back on the 7th! Any input on this? lance

LOL just call them with all your questions. They'll probably let you sleep at the building if you get there a night early, but make sure to bring some food or something because I wouldn't count on anyone taking you anywhere to get food.

But yeah... you'll have to ask them!

What do you mean by $90 cheaper overall? Like if you were to drive or what? Lance

Usually the camp is divided into 4 groups of say 5-8. The 2 camps I have been to had 20 and 22 kids. So I was only in a group of 5 each time. They divide you as your PR heights from lowest to heighest in groups. This works out great because as two of the groups are vaulting the other two are bar tending. Gives a nice break because you will definitly be worn completely out by the end of the camp.

Lance: they will let you sleep on the mats or whateva Wednesday night - I called and asked because I will need to, too. It takes me all day to fly down! So, I'm flying down on the 3rd and flying out on the 7th But yeah, if you have questions that we can't answer, call them. They're really nice. :)

Mighty Mouse: I'm taking the shuttle too! What day are you flying in, and to what airport, Memphis?

We found airfare, round trip, for $413! We did find some for $208 but it was for college student only

Yeh I don't think I'll be able to go to Bell this year! I've been paying $750 to go to Atlanta for a church deal so there goes a lot of money! Bell would cost me like $1000, I'd really like to go, but I don't think I can :(

If there is anyway for you to go to EARL BELLS go! This will be my 5 or 6th time going! It is amazing, the the coaches are so nice and helpful. Do whatever you can!
Its not just about working hard.. its about thinking hard too.
