Hi All,
We should organize and formalize this grand thing ASAP. One thing we need to do RIGHT NOW is to book the airline ticket,
the sooner the better. My Tiger friends have already booked their flight. I assume for most people , this flight schedule will be
sound:
Leave DFW August 30, Friday afternoon/evening.
Return from CMH September 2, Monday morning.
I did a quick search and found the cheapest non-stop flight was $178. Mark said $159 and I could not find one like that.
Go North Dallas United !!! Is that should be our team name ?
