Thanks to everyone who joined the New Orleans discussion and those who followed up after. Hereās a summary of what we discussed and the ideas shaping this trip.
Attendees
From My Meetup and Facebook groups
āļø Flights & Arrivals
Iāll be gathering general flight information to help coordinate arrivals. Youāre free to book any flight you prefer, but Iāll recommend options from your area so we can aim to arrive within a similar timeframe.
This helps with:
ā¢ smoother check-in
ā¢ easier first-night meetup
ā¢ not feeling alone on arrival
šØ Solo Travelers & Roommates
Several people asked about traveling alone.
Yes ā I offer roommate matching for those who want to share accommodations.
This helps:
ā¢ reduce cost
ā¢ increase comfort
ā¢ provide built-in travel buddy
Private rooms will also be available (limited).
