Hi all,

Please add me to the "as long as the dates work out, count me in" group. Avios availability LGA-CMH has been very good on weekends, so even if I can't fly to DAY cheaply I can drive from CMH.

I will likely drive from Chicago, so if the dates work & I am going, any Chicago area FTer would be welcome to ride along with.

As long as the dates work, I'm definitely in.

Glad to see all the interest. Thanks for the pointers people have added in. I just hit two months here, so I'm still learning. The info about the museum shuttle is great news!

It sounds like most of us are booked up through 2014, so we'll aim for first quarter of 2015. I'll tentatively say March for now.

I'm flying DAY-LGA-DAY for 4500 Avios each way this weekend, so don't count out that option. I think AA flies it 3x per day.

As long as the dates work.

March would work for me, as long as it's Friday, Saturday or Sunday ^

I also strongly prefer a weekend; in the Feb-Apr time frame I can't make President's Day weekend or the middle two weekends in March but on any other weekend in that time frame my attendance probability is 90%+.

My Spring is more booked than I realized already. I propose the following weekends.

Feb 23-25
Feb 27 - March 1
March 7-8
April 10-12

why are some dates 3 days & others 2 day?

I'd prefer it not to be March 7-8 as that's my Spring Break but all the rest are fine by me ^

Feb. or March works ok for me...April is marginal.

Unless I am reading something wrong, Feb. 23-25 is not a weekend...Was that on purpose?

I'd probably prefer April.

Apr is likely to be when we are **finally** relocating back to the Real Washington (SEA) from the Other Washington (DC), but DAY is definitely on the route; that said, I think I'd cast my vote for 27 Feb - 1 Mar

I think there are two possible typos that can be considered:

23-25 Jan is indeed a weekend, but from a fair amount of experience I can say that DAY in late Jan is probably not a great idea in terms of potential weather complications

13-15 Feb is Presidents' Day weekend (incl Mon 16), so that's probably not a good idea either

Just a note to consider/FYI, I know those of us who have been the the many Lexington Kentucky Horse & Bourbon Do's were planning a spring trip. Seeing as Keeneland has it's races in April, this date may conflict depending upon which April 2015 weekend is chosen.

On the other hand, if they were just a week apart, I might be up for just hanging around that region for the week in between the two events. I can think of worse things than a week of drinking bourbon. ;)

(Don't put too much stock in this suggestion, though, as I currently have tentative plans to be out of the country around this particular time...)
