MangoCon Is official!

There are only 217 rooms there. We have a block of 180 blocked off right now. It would be awesome to fully take over the hotel completely and be the only ones there!

Hmm, which way to go. Also, Google failed to give me a route via Canada. That can be decent if immigration is not crowded.
Need a road trip buddy?
-
We did the route from here through to Flint MI in October, not a bad drive.

The hotel price is $119/night and if people make their reservations fast we could get the hotel completely to ourselves! I will get all the pertinent information out to you all next week, even ahead of the website launch.
The rate there for this week is only $88. Is September generally higher?
-
Fall in the Rochester area is pretty popular so the rates climb up that time of year at all the hotels in the area.

I've done Rochester to Flint in five hours! I did a round trip from downtown Rochester to Chicago AND back in 20 hours flat. So ten hours each way including times for bathrooms, food and loading a truck in Chicago.
-
Looking forward to it!

Mapping tools tell me the route from home to the client I usually hit first by St Louis is 4.5 hours. I always do it in 4.

Not really worried about the price, it is reasonable. Not surprised by the fluctuation even, I know how that stuff works. Just a bit by the amount of difference.
-
This is exciting!!!
-
I'm seeing the rate at $135 for the actual dates in september, on the hotel website. Is the $119 rate locked in?
-
$119 is pretty cheap compared to what I payed at SW
-
@RojoLoco Yes $119 is the locked in rate.
-
Ugh, $1000 in plane tickets. Going to wait until you have some content announced so I have some ammo to sell it to my boss with.

You could come into Toronto on Via.

Rochester is a much cheaper city.
-
@scottalanmiller I am considering that too but it's not a lot cheaper. It is (ironically) faster though.

Seriously? We are looking at summering in Quebec and would be getting there on Via. But was not thinking that it could be fast.
How is it so bad getting to Rochester from there? How bad is it for you to fly to Toronto?

@scottalanmiller Only checked westjet for flights but it was 3 stops, 12 hour bloody milk run. In a few months better flights will post I'm sure.
