Karen,
Is there any other way to fly there instead of Buffalo?

[Tim Clark]

Rochester Airport is about a hour from Buffalo.

Don't know Carey but I'll see what I can find out. Buffalo Airport is the ONLY airport though that the hotel will send the shuttle to pick you up from.

I know you guys don't have Southwest Airlines there in Ft. Walton, but it would probably be worth the drive to the closest city that does. Southwest's been running some cheap flights into Buffalo lately.


Thanks for the help Tim!

Can a person be a pro with one hand (right) and a novice with the other ( left) ?

[chrislydman]

Karen, looking fwd to this, not too far from where i grew up!

[Erick "Zap" Szczap]

Carey, why wouldn't you want to fly into Buffalo? Nowadays Buffalo is a very reasonably priced airport. Once upon a time people made the trek to Rochester for the lower airfares but the roles have reversed now.

I'm originally from Buffalo so anyone interested in some 'local' info on things to do in the Buffalo/Niagara area just drop me a line.

[Johnny Edwards]

I might pull AAA nationals since I leave for bootcamp a month later after them so that would be fun.

[Joe Canazzi]

Hell yea finally a tournament's coming to me.

Good Question?

[Chris Coletti]

I believe that if you are an open qualified puller then it doesn't matter which arm...The experience is the factor that determines it. It would not be fair to the first time puller.

Here is a question though...Can you win the triple crown twice? In other words, can a puller win it in the open and masters with the same arm?
