Last year, I went with 2 other people from my club (we left Monday and returned on Sunday) and here's what I ended up spending:
Hotel - $200 (Baymont Inn) Rental Car - $100 (mini van from Alamo) Flight - $250 (MDW-DFW) Spending money (includes food & souvenirs) - $400 (I brought ~$650) 2 Practice Ice Sessions & Official Warm up - $40 Entry fees - $120 So, I spent roughly $1000 on everything for the week. Hope that helps! |

Manleywoman, is there going to be any sort of shuttle for competitors between the hotels and the rink? Or would one need to rent a car? Also, how far is Midway Airport from the rink/hotel area? I think SW only flies into Midway and not O'Hare.
(Good to see you at HC. We did meet before, at a USFSA-sponsored skating clinic in Philly (featuring Todd Eldredge) in 2002. Hopefully, I will be able to make it to AN this year.)

O'Hare is only 10 minutes away from the rink, Midway is about 40 minutes. And yes, Southwest only flies into Midway. FYI, if you're sharing a car with someone who is flying into O'Hare, you can take the El train all the way from Midway to O'Hare (switch from orange to blue line) for $2.00 and meet them at O'Hare. And Milwaukee's airport is an option too, though farther. I can't imagine finding anything cheaper flying into Milwaukee though. But it;s worth throwing out there. |

Anyone need a roommate or travel buddy? Or is it too early to ask? I'm just excited, as this will be my first nationals! Assuming I make it there...

Wish we could be there to watch you all and see Jazzpants' AN debut. Improbable, I'm afraid.... but we hope to see lots of you at Oberstdorf and the Mountain Cup. Those two announcements should be available soon, too, I expect.

My numbers came out much higher than $1000 this year, but if I were to share a room and go semi-custom and stone my own dress (which in this case, thankfully it doesn't need), I probably could shave off a $100 here and there. This is the main reason why I'm currently on the fence on going to AN in 2007. It really depends on whether or not I can come up with that type of $$$ by then and whether I want to "do things just right." Mel... if I don't make it to Chicago, pls. keep the bubbly chilled for another year. I'll definitely see you for sure in AN 2008 and with a brand spankin' new FS program that hopefully, when it's done, it's worth the wait! (I have a vague idea what it will be, but I'll draw up the concept this Thanksgiving.) Annabel: If you save up for AN 2008 and if it's in the locale that I was hoping it would be, I will definitely be there! My sekret source tells me that their rink is putting in a bid for AN 2008 too and I want THAT rink to win the bid b/c airfare/driving won't be as expensive (meaning you willl likely get MORE participants going to AN... ) and you won't have to deal with the altitudes problems of Denver. Plus they have parking and decent grub nearby!!! And yes, this rink has MULTIPLE SHEETS of ice and very Adult Competitor friendly! So start saving up and come by AN 2008 so I can meet you and Robert!

However, if anybody from your rink is doing the European comps this year, let me know - I can send you a little present to celebrate your debut as a Bronze Lady!

I just looked up my aunt's house in Elmwood Park on Mapquest, and it says that it's a 16-minute drive from the rink! Sweet!!

No plans on going right now. I would have to take silver MIF and Freeskate on the same date (club test session is Jan 15) and then mail entry form the next day if I passed both! Not really interested in trying to rush the tests this year. The dates for AN are bad for me as well! It is right after my spring break and it will be VERY difficult for me to take that week off from work. As much as I luv Chicago I think I will just stay home and look at my Medal and Plate from 2006 AN and hopefully make it to 2008....who knows, maybe I will be a Gold Men III by then!
I will talk to my coach about it at my lesson tonight and see what his thoughts are. He feels my MIF are pretty strong right now so who knows!
