<p>Going to Bama Bound this Tuesday with DS. He checks in Monday night at Ridgecrest South. I am sure the info for mom and dad and sis was sent to us but I can’t find it. Does anyone know when and where check in is for Parent and Sibling orientation?</p>
<p>Thanks! Roll Tide…</p>

<p>Our BB info was sent on Feb. 23. That’s right, I had to look through a huge pile of “To Be Filed” to find it. Ha!</p>
<p>It was a folded flier approx. 8.5" by 6". One side is crimson in color and says “Bama Bound 2011”. It includes the info you wanted and the parking pass.</p>
<p>But to answer your question: The Ferguson Center is where the student (and presumably the family) checks in for the morning session. I guess later you check in at the Ridgecrest South dorms for the night. </p>
<p>Are you coming the morning of your BB session? We are coming the night before.</p>
<p>Roll Tide!!</p>
<p>Where is the family staying during BB? </p>

<p>We are flying in Sunday (luckily I go to bed late… United just called and the first leg of our flight was cancelled… now have to leave house at 5:00AM instead of 7:00AM as planned!) into Huntsville and hope to be checked into the hotel by 6:00.</p>
<p>Have a safe trip! Sorry to hear about the canceled leg of your flight. </p>
<p>So, you’re flying from Maine to HSV and then driving the rest? Or are you then flying to B’ham?</p>
<p>Hi Mom2K</p>
<p>We eventually will be driving from Huntsville. Affordable choices were fly fromairport close to home and drive on the Bama end or drive on the home end and have to leave the house at 4:00 AM. Of course it turned out we had to leave at 5:00 AM anyway but oh well.</p>
<p>Still in Chicago right now. Limit 7:00 AM flight was delayed and we finally made it here out Bama flight had been cancelled. Should be in the air by 7:30 tonight though. Hope so!</p>
<p>cruisefan,</p>
<p>Too many stories regarding flights from PQI. Hope your pilot doesn’t load the luggage and then change the oil in the engine while you are on board…</p>
<p>;-)

<p>Made it to the hotel (Wingate) a little after 11:00. Nice to be here. :)</p>
<p>Glad you made it! What an all day travel experience! </p>
<p>What will you do today?</p>
<p>Thanks… It wasn’t a bad day. Hanging out by the pool would have been better but we found a way to enjoy it. Played some cards, read some, chatted and people watched. :)</p>
<p>Not much planned for today. DS wants Rama Jama’s for lunch and Mugshots for dinner and after dinner we will drop him off at the dorms. Other then that we may walk around campus a bit and relax by the pool here at the hotel.</p>
