Many of us in the Midwest have thought about a trip to HangCon, but only some have actually gone. I'm willing to help organize a group for the 2024 HangCon.
After researching chartering a plane and a bus, and talking to several of you, it makes most sense (time-wise) to fly to Florida and then rent a vehicle.
At this time, I'm wondering who would be IN? Sign-up here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing
Rough details:
HangCon dates: Thursday, Jan 11 - Monday, Jan 15
- Everybody finds their own ticket and flies down to Orlando on Thursday, Jan 11, 2024.
- We rent a vehicle and drive the 1.5 hrs to HangCon and stop at the nearest Walmart to pick up supplies on the way
- Return vehicle and fly back home on Monday, Jan 15, 2024.
- Everyone would need to take at least three days off of work. Thursday, Friday and then Monday.
- Although Tampa is closer to HangCon, there are more flights in/out of Orlando. If mulitple people want to fly into Tampa and rent a car from there, that's a great alternate plan.
- Renting a vehicle with Turo is the best price option I could find. We can pick up the vehicle at the airport. Many sizes available if we reserve early.
Approximate cost:
$400 - plane ticket
$100 - car rental + gas
$100 - food & misc
$600 total
If you take $600 divide by 9 months = $66 a month. That's equal to a weekly Friday fishfry. Skip the fish and start setting aside money today!
