Baumblog EST 1968 - A blog for the Baumbachs who originated in Syracuse, NY

Also wanted to add that since Drew and I are both conveniently located off Interstate 95 about half-way to Hilton Head, we are open to overnight guests looking to save some cash. We also live near the cheapest gas station on the planet, WaWa, which is currently at $3.90 per gallon. Yes, gallon, not litre! Drew has 2 extra beds plus lots of space for sleeping bags (even a tent or two if you want). I have a bed and fouton and a little space for sleeping bags. First come first serve!

Mom and dad are staying with me on Wednesday the 16th. I'm figuring that family might need to stay Thursday night. We could squeeze a couple more in on Wednesday and a bunch on Thursday night. We plan to leave Friday afternoon.

If Hotel Baumbach or Shambarger fill up, there's also a nice little Baumbach B&B minus the Bed and Breakfast in NC that I could fit a couple people in.

Thanks for the offer, but we already made reservations last week somewhere in the vast wasteland, uh, I mean beautiful state of Virginia...and, hehe, we'd be a handful. ;)

Cool, where are you staying? A wasteland? No way jose, that's like Nebraska or something.

Actually we are staying Thursday night in Wilson, NC. It is the trip home where we will be staying in Virginia when we go to Williamsburg for a few days.

Right. The trip planner knows all. I'm just the hired thug who drives. And Virginia is better than Western PA and Western NC, I'll give you that, but driving through Virgina takes all freaking day, so I don't like Virginia much. Rhode Island--now that's much better! ;)

Delaware is good too, and sometimes Maryland. Williamsburg will be fun--not sure if you are planning this, but Busch Gardens is a nice park.

We're doing Busch Gardens, as well as a bunch of historical sites. You know, the kind that the kids will complain about. ;)

So what day are we supposed to show up? Sounds like everyone is planning to show up Friday. I thought Saturday was arrival day. Need to know...
GJ said 2 days later

Saturday is the arrival day. My trip planner was wrong, we are staying in Wilson NC on Friday night.
Steve said 2 days later

Any guess as to what time everyone expects to be arriving? Just trying to figure out travel plans for myself (most importantly, where my stopover will be).
Kristen said 2 days later

I guess I planned to be there around 10 ish or so.
GJ said 2 days later

Considering check in is something like 3-4pm, arriving at 10 means you'll have nowhere to put your stuff for six hours. It's 5.5 hours from Wilson to Hilton Head without stopping, so expect to see us in Hilton Head in the 2-4pm window.
