hey how about any good hotels that are close to Ultra but not necessarily a 4 star hotel.

**plus if you ride in car for 22hrs you tend to get pissed off at ppl. Especially if they pass gas in the car and think its funny.

Let's assume the car gets 30 miles per gallon, & gas costs $1.80/gallon. Your cost of travelling a mile is 6 cents.

Houston>>Miami is approximatelly 1225 miles, or 2450 miles total.

Gas cost ~ $147 total. If Pete & Matt split that, that's $74 each. If they find a 3rd or even 4th passenger, cost goes down to $49 or $37 each.

As Daydreamer points out, this does not account for the lost wages/productivity for the time spent on the road (a minimum of one day each way). If you're employed, and your daily wage is $75, add $150 to account for missing 2 days work

So...with 2 riders, cost for driving == $225
With 4 in the car, cost for driving == $187 (roughly equivalent to a $180 airfare)

Unaccounted for is where (if anywhere) you'll stay on the way--you could start at 5 AM, & drive all day, arriving at 1 AM the next day---that's a whole bunch of driving.

Driving doesn't really seem to save much money if you're employed. If you're not employed with more time than money, it does save money as long as there's more than just the driver in the car.

This is assuming the driver is nice & splits the gas money evenly, without citing the "Ass, grass, or Gas...noone rides for free" rule & makes the passenger pick up the gas to makeup for the wear & tear on the car itself.



Lmaoooo E you crack me up





ps: enlighten me on how I go about spelling your name so I can stop calling you E... as great as E sounds right now. Ahem.

I asked my boss at lunch yesterday, "Can I have Thursday, March 24th off from work?"

He chokes on his beer-"Sure, why not? I can't even think that far in advance!!!"

So my resolve is stiffening. I'm debating between the clay hostel (closer to beach, & dirt cheap at $17/night) & the Sheraton ($84, but nearer to the clubs).

My friends call me "E". Not for that though.

yes sir, unless you give some $$$ to the doorman. i could've gotten the sheraton for $49 a night since i work at one of their hotels but my jackass friends decided it was too far from the parties and we're staying at a day's inn or something.

Yeah..E said pretty much the same figures I had been conluding. Hate to say this but looks like I'll have to miss out on this year. No biggie, I'm only turning 24 instead of 34...so I still have plenty of time in my life to live out the goal of seeing the world.

woot woot!!
I'm doing a project for HP so I'm getting some extra cash to be able to go.

Only reason I won't go is if I get offered a full time position or i have test that week.

hahahahaha, (admits this post was made before he knew your age) well..nah it aint too old, I'm sure I'll be around that age by the time I really achieve my goals in music. Its just now at 24, even though I have seen more than most people, I dont feel I have really begun to see anything. I want to travel, experience all the scene's, see ultra, see europe, hit the massive ID&T parties. Just doesnt seem like there is enough time and I hope Im not destined to live a live where the money to travel only falls in my hands when I am too old to enjoy it like I would now.

34 isnt too old its just by that time I hope I would have already seen everything n such.

I'm sure you will see much before you are 34... and then you will see more. I have not seen as much as I would have liked, but I wouldn't change a day.

For you who are considering Ultra etc. It's pretty crazy and mighty fun. Hope you make it sooner than later.
