So, did my posse just roll in and claim all five of the open bunks?

I'm not sure... they may have.

It's like 10 hours to get to Toronto from NYC but 13 to get to Brantford. 5 extra hours and something like $300 extra to take the train instead of a car.

Edited to add: I know nothing about travel hacking with Amtrak but I suspect it's as fun as hacking the social security administration.

Travel hacking Amtrak: possibly one of those cards that uses points accumulated to reimburse travel charged to the card? Five extra hours plus $300 sounds not very worthwhile, though.

Bunk update coming!

As it turns out, you did! CM*TO 2018 is completely sold out!!!

(Any camper hopefuls, people may cancel and those spots get refilled through the waitlist, so not all hope is lost if you haven't secured a bunk for yourself, yet.)

arebelspy · « **Reply #603 on:** April 20, 2018, 08:46:26 AM »

Well geez, I came to the forums to check if there's extra bunks for CM*TO or if there's a wait list I could make my tickets available to, as there's a good chance we'll be in Amsterdam or London at the time of CM*TO, and I find out there IS a wait list, but only because Grant and his badass SO are coming?!

Now I need to somehow work out how to cross the Atlantic for this thing.

Just swim to the mainland. Isn`t that what people do for a challenge in England? But instead of going East to Europe, swim west to Canada.

And our fourth breakout!

I like to bike!

This breakout session will be about making the gradual transition from 100% transit rider to urban bicycle commuter (most of the time), with all the possible steps along that continuum. This breakout will focus on showing people how to get the best resources and information on urban bicycle commuting no matter where they are, as well as often-overlooked and cheap/free resources to help anyone increase their cycling badassity.

BiochemicalDJ is a government professional who balances working in an office building every day while also commuting by bicycle. He's learned valuable lessons along the way, and hopes to pass on advice and stories to help people start off as a cycle commuter on the right foot. When not tinkering with his bicycle, he can be found likely tinkering with his car, computer, DJ equipment, or whatever project is absentmindedly on the go at any one time.

Four bunks are available!

A few campers are unable to attend this year, so we have four spots available if you would like to attend CM*TO but haven't snagged a spot yet. If you're ready to confirm and make full payment please PM me and I will get you in touch with the campers who need to bow out.

The problem is that I still want to read everyone's CM*TO Introduction pages.

If everyone could save your Introduction text and copy them over to the new subforum, when it becomes available, that would be great.

I always enjoy reading them, prior to camp, in order to get to know fellow MMM's better. thanks.

Striving towards health & wellness

Join NinetyFour in a supportive discussion about identifying long-term health and wellness goals, and ways that we each have been successful or less successful in making progress towards them in our busy lives. With co-facilitator Gray Matter and special guest BiochemicalDJ.

NinetyFour's journal is here https://forum.mrmoneymustache.com/journals/fostering-friendships-fitness-fun-and-fire-part-iii/ for you to be inspired by stories of long walks, thoughtful eating, and hiking photos of inspiring vistas.

So the org committee had a meeting last night. I tried really hard to get voted off the island, but in the end, PlainJane forced me to take the immunity Idol, and well, I guess I'll be eating bugs for another week. Wait, wrong camp.

OK, so stuff you NEED to know - We are going to have camp mustache and its going to be great. I also got home really late and was on a skanky train car that really wasn't dirty or anything, but felt very modern for 1970-something. We had a conductor with a sense of humour so that was nice. But folks, I'm not 19 anymore and waking up early after hanging out with the party crowd all night is hard. You should all pity me. Also AMAZING pizza.

Oh yeah camp:
- 75 people or so.
- Only 2 ppl per room this year (twice the cabins, twice the privacy, half the bathroom waits.)
- Thursday night arrivals are a thing. So are Monday departures.
- 3 Keynotes for the camp, and 3 breakouts per session = total of 12 speakers.
- Many long social breaks.
- Topic mix has everything from budgeting to careers to personal life mapping.
- Volley-Hockey-Ball. Karaoke. Canoe Trip.
- There will be food again. It will be food flavoured.
- I have a bottle of Waterloo Dark set aside especially for camp. Stocking up.

So now that we have everything mapped out... um.... you know what I know.
