When Louise and I go to Oshkosh, we have a pretty good deal on a hotel in Appleton. As a matter of fact, since Louise works the show for her employer, and there is a required morning briefing at the hotel at 0700, she pretty much HAS to stay in Appleton. Transportation is provided every morning and evening, but on their timetable ? not ours. Because so much happens at the show ?after hours?, it is nice to have our own ground transportation to allow flexibility ? but flying in and renting a car in the immediate area is just prohibitive for the week. Last year, we had family business in St. Paul before and after the show, so we flew one airplane there, rented a car (for a TON less money), and one drove to KOSH while the other flew. That worked out pretty well, but it is not a short drive.
This year, we really want to take two airplanes to the show, seeing as how it?s a big year for RV?s. I am wondering if anyone out there in VAF land has a creative solution that could get us a car for the week without having to spend as much as we would on a new Comm radio. If anyone has any secrets they don?t want to share publicly, there is always the PM option?.
If nothing else, this might generate discussion on how far away (from KOSH) you have to go to get a good car rental deal....
