So then boys and girls, this October, myself and my girlfriend will be flying into Miami for a holiday. I am then hoping to convince her to let me drive us up north to Atlanta to see my boy R1N3.
What I would like to ask you beautiful people, is firstly, what is there to do in Miami? Then, what can I do on the way up to Atlanta, and finally, is there a large amount of geekhackers who would be willing for a get-together either in Atlanta or elsewhere?
I'm guessing my best route is the I95 up to Cape Canaveral (**** yeah NASA) then to Jacksonville, then the I75 to Macon and Atlanta. I would go to Gainesville but no Vesper
Edit 5/9/16:
OK boys and girls, the schedule is finalized, the flights have been booked, the hire car is booked too. Check out this bad boy:
So the plan goes like this:
Saturday 1st October - Land in Miami at about 19:00. Pick up car, meet local contact, drive to my insane mansion on La Gorce Island (chyeah)
Sunday 2nd - Wednesday 5th - Have fun in Miami doing anything and everything. Everglades tour, chilling on the beach, visit little Havana, whatever!
Thursday 6th - Drive to and visit the Kennedy Space Centre. Then drive from there to Orlando. Stay the night in Orlando.
Friday 7th - Visit Universal and have generally an awesome time.
Saturday 8th - Drive to Atlanta to see my man R1N3.
Sunday 9th - Explore Atlanta, see some whale sharks at the Aquarium, do other things.
Monday 10th - Drive to Charlotte to see my cousin
Tuesday 11th - Drop car off at Charlotte Douglas Airport and fly to Newark Liberty International. Land at about 9am. Spend the next few years of my life getting to the centre of NYC to find our Air BnB.
Wednesday 12th - Friday 14th - Explore NYC. See the Empire State, Ground Zero, Guggenheim, whatever else.
Saturday 15th - Fly back home
So the prime opportunities for meet ups would be the time we are spending in NYC or in Miami. I know that R1N3 has a wedding to go to on the weekend I'm in Atlanta for which he is leaving for on Saturday night so I don't think a meet up then would be feasible.
