I expect to end up spending about 2000euro on travel and accomadation alone (about 3000 dollars)!

So Far:
650 euro for flights from Shannon to JFK.
300 euro for new york motel
Whatever the cost is by train to get to hartford
Motel 6 in hartford is about 130 dollars.


I yet have to pay for:
gas to get to mansfield.
Two nights hotel in mansfield
1 night hotel in boston in between mansfield shows.
Travel costs to boston and back
Travel costs to then get to NY again after mansfield shows!

That aint including how much I spent for tix for 5 shows and obviously my own cash!!

2 airfare Vegas to Tampa 285 x 2 = $570
6 days rental car = $115
6 nights various hotels (approx) = $550

PJ Tix WPB + Tampa = $292

so far $1677

vedder_soup

$1790 return from Sydney!
shared gas expenses from NY to Boston and back
Some tain and bus fairs
Shared accomodation expenses!

I just today booked my flight for next week. Got one of the best deals of all time to be honest. On very short notice too. Flying roundtrip from Springfield Missouri to Orlando for $158! I'm going to both FL shows, so I just needed to be in the area.

Frequent flier miles are going to take me to L.A. for the VH1 The Who tribute.

I'll be putting up the "Gone Jamming" sign on the morning of 6/11 . I will then pay $636 for a total of five flights (Philly to WPB, Tampa to Charlotte, Charlotte to Nashville, Nashville to Charlotte, Charlotte to Columbia ) .

As for gas pains.. I got a rental compact , I'll be the one emerging from the clown car, for WPB to Tampa. Gas pain unknown. I'll be Jampooling during The Roo ,from Columbia to Camden, and from Philly to DC to share gas costs ( total unknown but I figure at least a $200-$300 gas pump porking coming on even with ride share) . I'll be doing the Media Megalopolis to NYC by train and foot. As it stands now, I'm doing the Hartford and Mansfield runs by car and solo. Can you say major NE US gas sticker shock . I'm guessing at least $500 for gas when all is said and done

slightofjeff

I'm flying on air miles. And staying on Marriott points.

So $0.


BWAAAAA!!!

I took the train to the Met-Yankee game a couple of weeks ago, and was around $20.00(round trip).

FAR too much money!
But on the other hand, it's only money...might as well spend it while you got it! And besides, the memories that this trip will produce will be priceless.

We're traveling from New Brunswick, traveling to Connecticut, then staying in Boston while the shows are in Mansfield. I can definitely wait to see how ass fucked I get by the gas pumps. :(
