Hey guys, just thought I’d get a start on planning and setting up carpools, etc. People who are driving, when we figure out plans to leave and come back, we can post and see if we can organize carpools to minimize costs.

Hey guys, just thought I’d get a start on planning and setting up carpools, etc. People who are driving, when we figure out plans to leave and come back, we can post and see if we can organize carpools to minimize costs.
Is there an agenda or are there beginning/ending times to work off?
He may be providing lodging for us on Thursday night only. Our visits to IFPRI, World Bank and Save the Children are all on Friday. I’ve heard some people may be staying longer though, but I don’t have a list…which is why I created this post! Yay!
so this isn’t for econ statecraft?
No, as far as I know this is a trip for Agriculture and Economic Development. Dr. Mingst has joined the professor so Transnational Org student have been invited to come as well. If you’re interested, however, I would say contact Dr. Mingst.
We’d be up for some car pooling. I think we’re pretty flexible as far as times go.
I’d like to stay at least Friday night, maybe Friday and Saturday depending on hotel prices and how many people I can get to stay. Anybody else interested in making it a weekend?
Hey Kelly, I am thinking maybe I’ll stay the weekend. anybody else?
Weekend would be great and I’m down for sharing costs of carpool and hotel
I am down for some carpooling action. I am thinking about leaving Thursday early so I can get some play time in that afternoon and coming back on Saturday’ish so I can get settled back in before my mid-terms on Monday and Tuesday.
By the way, who all is needing a ride, who is thinking they might drive and who could go either way?
I am able to drive or ride (love the idea of riding but realize I will probably be driving). If I am driving I will most likely be rocking it like a soccer mom, which means I will have room for four or five more.
weekend sounds good
So far I have Leila and Violeta in my car. I’m up for a weekend and splitting hotel costs as well.
yea, i’ll throw down on a hotel/motel with you elizabeth.
Looks like Prof Skees will provide us with 4 rooms for Thursday night. Here’s a list he sent of people who are going:
Nazir Kabiri
Amanda Mullikin
Jerzy Jaromczyk
Justin Mullikin
Kelly Litz
Leila Brandon
Sarah Wixson
Sierra Enlow
Casper Kamau
Elizabeth Woerner
Viola Teutu
Elizabeth Hagee
I know some people wanted to go that were in Trans Orgs… we may be able to fit some of you into our rooms. If we stay longer, we can plan for a hotel somewhere else.
Hey, I’d be down for carpooling, if there’s an open spot. I would be going for my own interests (seeing people) and I can figure out my own housing, etc.
Hi again,
I was taking a look at hotel prices for Friday night, but realized I know absolutely nothing about what area we should stay in. Anybody want to scrounge up a place with a great deal? Or tell me what area of DC and I can find something? I am planning on leaving Thursday afternoon to arrive around 7-8pm and leaving mid-morning Saturday to come back.
Am in for car-pool and full weekend. Leaving Thursday or Wen. night would be also good. When are you guys planning on going????
I want to take off Thursday morning and start heading back Sat in time to be home for dinner. Elizabeth, if there aren’t enough people that like that schedule, I would like to ride with you.
If lots of people like that idea though then I am willing to drive mum’s van.
I was hoping to stay through Sunday noon or so, so for me — Thursday night through Saturday night. If that fits well with enough people want to do, we can use my car, which will fit 4 comfortably.
