Help me plan.

[Black_Noise]

So if we end up going can people help me figure what its gonna run us?

2 adults
1 9yr old (maybe)

show up friday, leave sunday

would like to drive the road course, just me. (does it cost extra to have a passanger?!??)

Shows about 450 miles one way for us.
MM can get 22+ MPG (more if I can keep my foot out of it)

What do you guys think this trip would run us $$$ wise?

Im thinking around $800 all said and done?

Money is always tight, but would love to meet everyone and do a MARAUDERVILLE.

$800 sounds about right for the three days. But check the itinerary in the MV-X thread. Think the road course is on thursday............

[DOOM]

Check what the room rates are now for the hotel.

You can't put a price on the fun and fellowship you will experience.

There are many ways to spend $800...going to Marauderville is probably in the top 5 of the best ways to spend it.

A fool and his money.... :P

$800 is cheap considering I spent almost 2K going to Marauderville in St. Louis for 3 adults.

I'd go more with Pat's pricing as the cost of eating out adds up quick. You will at first think 'all I want is my family to eat burgers' but you will invariably see something on the menu that peaks your interest or your better half will see something and your best not to argue with her. Before you know it you budget is shot to hell. Plan on spending more and if you come home with $$$$ good for you.:)
