I really hope we all fly out together. We can also cut the cab fair up to nothing and maybe be given hotel rooms next to each other if we all sign in together.
Maybe if we do something together, it should be after we get checked in.. like dinner and drinks at the fancy Emeril's in the hotel? We can all say "BAM" each time we take a drink and complain to our waiter that our food needs to be taken back to the kitchen and "kicked up a notch".
Suppose only a select few will get that.

LOL, bingo. I didn't even see your post. Yeah, that'd be swell! I'll bring my never ending supply of ink dotter things and my fiber tablets.
Tomas, I'm so glad you're in for that. There are so many wonderful places I want to eat down there and if at least once I could get someone to come with me while I dine, I'd be forever greatfull. Nobo is another place I MUST eat at too.

OK, let's get some use out of this topic, folks. 
There are a few of us that are sort of 'clumped together' geographically.
- IF we are all leaving SeaTac on the same flight (or at least similar times),
- and IF the folks reasonably close to each other are planning on using a taxi or shuttle to get to the airport
we might be able to save a couple of bucks getting to the airport by grouping together for the ride.
(Personally I'm either using taxi or shuttle - there is NO way I'm going to leave my box in a 'long term parking' lot anywhere near the airport...)
If people do it by taxi, the one farthest could have the taxi gather up closer folks as the pass by, I would think, or even have the taxi make specific stops at more than one point.
I dunno - I haven't checked this out at all, and we don't know what the flight schedules look like yet. I'm just putting this out here as something to maybe think about.

I will probably be driven down by my family or by my father. Depending on who takes me, time of day, etc., I could probably pick up a few of you near I-5 along the way if they need a ride.
As far as planning the vacation, I want to know who wants to rent a car with me on Sat (if you've chosen to stay another day) and go drive on the Overseas Highway. I don't want to do it by myself but I might if nobody wants to go. I really want to see the Gulf of Mexico and all scenery that the road has to offer.

If you need to leave a car, my office is about 1/2 a mile behind the airport and I can arrange to have one or two of us leave a car there. safe, well lit and secure. Anywhoo, its like a 8.00 cab ride from the airport and free to the airport if we all ealve close to the same time as I can have my dad who works with me drive us over.
I rented a car (mustang convertable) and have it reserved in MIA to be picked up when we get to the airport. Since Gabi and I are both going we still have spots for two people to jump in on it. The way I look at it, since you wont be able to drive the car, if you want to throw in on it, we'll be able to get from the airport, to the events on friday and you can just throw some gas money in and we'll be cool. Nothing says poppin like MIA in a convertable!
I dont know about the Overseas highway but I do plan on doing Miami beach and going to dinner and a little sightseeing. all Gabi and I ask is that you be nice and throw some gas money in each time you ride with us as this was not a cheap car!. (fun though it will be, gabi nixed my idea on this one...

Surprised you didn't opt for a CSI/Miami silver Hummer, Dustin. 
If it is OK, Dustin, I'd like to park my lovable little xB at your work location, but you realize, of course, we will likely have to be at the airport by about 0600 at the latest - maybe even earlier. That sounds like taking a cab from there to departure...
On my way back, I'll probably be getting in at some ungodly oh-dark-thirty time. Will I be able to get to my car at like 3 in the morning?
Oh well, we'll know more when we get some tickets. Might be as early as next week.
