OSH '07 accommodations dilemna
Ok, so one of my partners reserves 2 dorm rooms (no A/C this year)
every year for Tuesday - Thursday. This year, however, there are only
3 of us that can make it.
So my dilemna:
1. Take the plane up and camp next to the plane while they take the
remaining dorm room, and then open up the other dorm room to whoever
wants it.
2. Look for a "4th" for that time period from the R.A.P, or greater
OSH airventure community.
3. Just pay the extra dough and push the beds together ;-)
I'm leaning to #1, since I've always wanted to camp at OSH with the
plane. This brings up some issues though, specifically,
1. How "easy" is it to give up a dorm room for 3 days in the middle
of the show like that? I'm assuming that there's some wait list that
would accomodate such a purpose.
2. What is the capacity of the North 40 going to be come Tuesday mid
morning/afternoon? Last year we flew up on that same Tuesday and
general parking was full and I seem to remember camping was full as
well. We had to go to Fond Du :ac, which wasn't an issue then since
one of the partners was driving, etc. But I'd hate to camp at FLD.
That's just too 'out of the way'.
I can probably push my arrival to monday late, but that might mean I'm
flying solo into OSH. Not something I'm too worried about, but with
that many planes it would be good to have another pilot in the plane.
The current plan is for 2 of the partners to fly up, while the 3rd
drives. This provides a car for going to dinner, etc.
So, OSH veterans (this will only be my second show) what should I do?
What's the cost differential for 3 nights of camping vs. 3 in the
dorms?
