I’m looking for help getting to the
state tournament on Saturday night or early Sunday morning.
I am a reserve soldier, called back into
the military for Operation Iraqi Freedom. I’ve been given a 4-day pass,
just in time to catch the tail end of the tournament at JMU. My son is on one
of the two Christiansburg teams, The Blizzards, that made it to state, and my
wife is coaching!
I was able to get a flight into Dulles
airport at 9:11pm on Saturday, and thought it’d be easy to get a 1-way
car rental to Harrisonburg.
Unfortunately, it turns out that a one-way costs about $300! Here are two
ideas:
1) Perhaps I can luck into someone else driving out to the tournament
(after work?) on Saturday evening. I’ll pay your gas and make sure we
fill up your tank when we’re in Harrisonburg.
2) I could rent a car round-trip from Dulles. I drive it to Harrisonburg, but someone
from a team near Dulles airport could drive it back to the airport Sunday or
whenever you’re returning. I’d need to coordinate with you to get a
copy of your driver’s license to the rental company. I’ll pay the
additional driver fee and add additional insurance, and still come out around
$100.
If someone would be interested in one of
the ideas above, or has another idea, please drop me a line. As a former
coach, I’m thrilled to be able to catch the 2nd day of the
tournament and see my family before heading to Iraq!
