Hello all - I am thinking of driving out to Denver for the convention. I got to looking at airfare and what it would cost to rent a car or take taxis everywhere and I think I can do it for $200-$225 a person if three other people want to go.

I have a mini-van so 3-4 people could fit in comfortably. It is 21 driving hours from Charlotte to Denver. I have done it twice, the only real bad part is driving across Kansas but on the bright side you will be able to say you have driven through my home town of Junction City, Ks.

I would leave Charlotte early on the Saturday before the convention and leave Denver on the Friday after.

Any takers?
