Here is the info on the drive from Ithaca to MN. I have done this 4 times or so, and it averages about 17 hours from Ithaca to my house (a little less than an hour north of the Twin Cities metro area).  It is an extremely easy drive, although it could not get any more boring (If you drive you will find out why I hate Wisconsin so much). Chicago is the worst part, as it adds at least an hour or 2. To those going to attempt it I wish you luck, I have done without stopping for the night (driving alone) only once, and I doubt I would do it again. As for me, I am already in said house :-D, and hoping that the band can get here    ::help:: (and more importantly, get me back to Ithaca after!)   ::worry::

I just spoke to a NoDak fan who has two seats and would like to sell them together.

I'm travelling solo.  If you are too, let's go in together.

hey man,  thanks for that link.  bummer that you have to leave thursday and return on monday.

I am down in Florida on co-op currently..gotta find a way to get out of 3 days of work/getting them to let me work remotely.  The link has really cheap tickets though, it was $460 for roundtrip (direct, no layovers), from Ft. Lauderdale to Minnesota.  

Anyone know which hotel on the list is closest to the arena?  A hotel that had wireless internet/broadband would be a must as well so that I could work from my room.  I'm going to talk to my boss tomorrow and see if I can work something out.

What's the minimum age to rent a car in Minnesota?

from hertz.com

Age Restrictions and Exceptions

On most rentals, the minimum rental age is 25 years old.

 

EXCEPTIONS

 

Corporate Accounts

 

Various corporate accounts have agreements with Hertz which permit employees of those companies, between the ages of 21-24, to rent for business purposes. Renters must present a valid Corporate Identification Card at the time of rental and additional fees may apply. Please contact your company travel department to verify age exceptions when renting for business purposes.

 

Michigan

 

For ages 18-21 - Hertz will rent to customers between the ages of 18-21 years at all corporate locations in the State of Michigan. In addition to the base rental rate, an Underage Liabilty Charge of USD 41.00 per day will be assessed on rentals to this age group.
For ages 22-24 - Hertz will rent to customers between the ages of 22-24 years at all corporate locations in the State of Michigan. In addition to the base rental rate, an Underage Liability Charge of USD 17.00 per day will be assessed on rentals to this age group.

 

Renters must possess a valid driver's license, provide an acceptable form of payment and be subject to driver's license verification or complete a driving record certification. For details on this verification, refer to the policy information for Driver's License.

 

Advance reservations are required and reservations may not be confirmed via the Internet. Please contact the reservatons office nearest you - see How to Reach Us.

 

New York

 

For ages 18-24 - In 1997, the New York Court of Appeals ruled that car rental companies cannot refuse to rent to persons 18 years of age or older in the State of New York solely on the basis of age, provided that insurance coverage for persons of such age is available. The Court found that insurance had become "available" through the New York Automobile Insurance Plan (i.e., the "Assigned Risk" Plan.) At corporate locations in the State of New York, Hertz now makes available to the 18-24 age group, a number of specific vehicles for which insurance has been purchased. The rental charges for these vehicles will include a New York Underage Insurance Differential charge (currently USD 51.00 per day) that will automatically be added to the base rental rate at time of reservation.

 

Renters must possess a valid driver's license, provide an acceptable form of payment and be subject to a driver's license verification or complete a driving record certification. For details on this verification and certification, refer to the section titled Driver's License.
