Fenway Trip Finale

July 17, 2000... Bill Krieger

OK boys, final update. There is a little duplication, but some new stuff too.

You may want to print this page, eh...

When, Where, Who

Friday July 21 - Sunday July 23 in Boston, Mass to see the city and Fenway Park.

Here is the crew, grouped by bunkie (ie sharing the same hotel room) order:

• Mark Krieger ( mkrieger12@hotmail.com ) & Brian Krieger
• Tommy Dieboldt ( Thomas.Dieboldt@nextel.com ) & John Raimondo ( jrai@ntsource.com )
• Rob Reed ( goreed@earthlink.net ) & Rob "Skinner" Triol ( robtriol@hotmail.com )
• "Young" Bill Krieger ( williamt@williamt.com ) & [roommate to be found in Boston]

Bring

You need to bring:

• Your drivers license. We have e-tickets on ATA and you have to have a photo ID to claim your ticket.
• Your ass... your ass on-time, that is. If you're a part of the limo crowd at Bill's house, then the limo leaves Friday morning at 6:45 am. We are leaving on time, and we ain't waiting for the pope... so be there. Our flight leaves Friday morning at 8:50 am, so you have to be at Midway Airport about an hour early. So, you should make sure you have checked in by 8:00 am.
• Dollars. Airfare, rooms, game tickets are covered by Young Bill's Tour Extravaganza. Food, drinks, etc are not.

That's it. Oh, I got one question about attire. I can't speak for anyone else, but I ain't goin' nowhere I gotsa dress up.

Flight

We're booked on ATA. Go:

Friday July 21

Leave Chicago Midway airport at 8:50 am on ATA flight 527. Arrive Boston at 12:05 pm (noon-ish).

Sunday July 23

Leave Boston at 6:40 am on ATA flight 335. Arrive Chicago Midway at 8:40 am.

I know the flight times are a little goofy, but this is dictated by prices... flying at normal times costs (a lot) more.

A limo has been reserved to/from Bill's house. The limo leaves my place Friday morning at 6:45 am for Midway. So far, the limo group includes Bill, Johnny, Tom, and the two Robs. If you miss the limo, then drive to Midway. If you miss the flight at 8:50, the drive to Boston. The limo will grab us at Midway Sunday morning too.

Red Sock Game

Got some sweet tickets! Check it out:

Box 5, Row B, seats 1-4 Box 5 is in Right field Should be 2nd row from the field

Box 9, Row G, Seats 1-4 Box 9 is right field, closer to home plate We're in row 7

Fenway Seating Chart: http://www.redsox.com/tickets/seating.html

So, we'll sit in two groups of four. The game has been set for 5:05 pm, so we'll have Friday afternoon open.

Both groups of tickets are down the right field line. You can see a nice seating chart at:

Excellent.

Hotel

We're staying at the Sheraton in Boston. It looks pretty sweet... the address and phone are:

The hotel is about a mile from Fenway. We'll flip a coin on cabbing versus walking.

Here's the hotel info from Sheraton:

All the hotel rooms will be in my name and card (simplify man!), so make your loved ones aware if they try to call you. It's probably better if you try to call them. Check-in is 3:00 pm, but we can drop our stuff off and run. They claim to have a shuttle to/from the airport... the airport which I believe is about 5 miles (and probably 30+ minutes of traffic) away.

Itinerary

These are just my ramblings and are subject to change the second this is posted...

• Friday afternoon - touristing
• Friday night - nice dinner (Two people have recommended a place called Legal Sea Foods for an awesome seafood and chowdah experience) and then bar/club-hopping
• Saturday morning - got me?
• Saturday afternoon - the game is at 5:00
• Saturday night - shenanigans

Remember rule number 1: "Do what you want".

If you have a question, or if I am missing something... email me or call 630-527-1741.

See you Friday morning. YOW!

yow, bill ( email )
