Plan on leaving Friday to arrive around dinner time and opening remarks @ 7 PM. Returning after last presentation on Sunday. Will drive via I-75, can make slight detours along the way but not too far in order to make it on time. Check with me and we'll see what we can work out. I will be taking off work at noon on Friday. I have room for two extra people comfortably, three would be more crowded but would work. Prefer round trippers as it makes it easier to coordinate. Car is a 2000 Toyota Camry with 4 cylinder engine.
If I have space in the car I cam willing to pick you up at the Detroit airport and take you back, but this is only after I've tried to fill the car from Dayton ( I might be able to squeeze one person in for the short ride to the college).
Would prefer you help with gas expenses, it will take a total of about 17-20 gallons for the round trip, give what you can. I'm not sure where I'm staying up there yet, so you may be on your own for transportation to the college each day. I have a bike rack that can hold two bikes mounted with a Class II hitch, if you have one that can hold more and it will fit, that'd be cool to use.
Non smoking car, if you can wait till a rest stop, we'll work something out, I usually have to stop every 1 1/2 hours or so anyway. Love to talk about a lot of subjects and am respectful of other's opinions, you must be the same...... In case it matters, I am a white male in my late 40's, omnivore.....
