 Living in Florida now, I've decided it's my duty to support Cornell when it plays in the South.  Sadly, I live on the Alabama state border, but as I've got friends and relatives in Tampa, I'll be doing the eight-hour drive there shortly after Christmas, driving to Estero with them, and cheering on Cornell.

There's a possibility that my car would be available for others, but as I'm just starting to plan the trip, that's in no way definite.[/Q]
Heh.  I was going to offer to carpool (since Pensacola is on my way from New Orleans).  Let me know if you have more friends than can comfortably fit in your car for the long haul.[/q]

The new plan might be to drive to Tampa before Christmas and fly in and out of there (to CT).  It's cheaper, among other considerations.  I'll email you if carpooling looks like a possibility

But then I did the rental car search, and that pretty much put the kabosh on my trip for now.  Rates are going for about $85/day, and I'd plan to be down there for 3-4 days, so that just wasn't reasonable.  If people are headed down there and we can coordinate a vehicle/ride situation, I may consider it again.[/Q]
Did you try pricelining a car? Never done it, but with the rates they get on hotels, I wouldn't be shocked to think that may be a very good deal. Second to that, I bet you may be able to find some holiday specials.[/q]

Absolutely give Priceline a shot.  If your offer is ridiculously low, they'll kick it back.  Bump it upwards until you get a nibble.  I won't rent a car any other way anymore, if my own money's on the line.

 I spent about 2 hours the other day looking at pretty much every flight combo in and out of LGA/JFK/EWR to TPA/SRQ/PBI/FLL/MIA/RSW.  Found some good flight combos...[/Q]
But you're not going to tell us WHAT THEY WERE?    [/q]

Maybe you missed my point.  What flight combos did you find?

My bad....missed this...will look at my notes when I get into work tomorrow.

Although who knows what may have changed in 3 days when you're dealing with Christmas-time flights.
