Frequently Asked Questions
Where will the caravan be stopping in my hometown?
Our general schedule is published here on the site. Beyond that, we do not release detailed information, times, and exact locations of our stops and itinerary until March of 2009. Paid and registered participants will receive a printed travel guide that outlines all of this information. As this event takes over a year to plan, much if the exact itinerary is not known until March of 2009.
What hotels is MAA staying at?
Hotel information is given to paid and registered participants of the MAA drive. We secure discounted rates and set up "HQ hotels" in the many locations we stay overnight in. These hotel rates and discounts are for our registered participants. Thus, we do not disclose this information to the public at large.
Our hotels will come online through the late spring of 2008 and registered participants can begin making their hotel reservations. If you are a registered MAA participant - please do not distribute this information to the public, as it may prevent you from having a room to reserve if the hotel fills up.
What is the daily drive schedule like?
Our 2009 route is about 400-450 miles per day. There are planned lunch stops that last between 1 and 1.5 hours depending on locations. Gas/Rest breaks are also included a couple times a day in most days. Our format is designed to allow slower cars to meet the schedule, while faster cars will arrive to our stops earlier than scheduled. This allows people to feel relaxed in their driving, that they don't have to race all day to keep up.
Social gatherings, activities, and other events are being planned for a number of our overnight stops. There are also some side trips to tourist attractions such as Santa Fe, NM and the Route 66 Museum in Clinton, OK for example that are bing worked into the route. Other attractions and activities are being reviewed.
Most importantly, our event itinerary is but a guide. We do not seek to keep a parade formation at all times in which people do not have the flexibility to set their own pace or choose their own stops. In fact, such a feat is impossible with as many cars as we have. We encourage people to take in the sights and follow their own travel ventures. If you want to see the 300lb singing canary attraction at Exit 56, take it!
What does it cost to register?
The cost for the MAA 2009 45th Anniversary drive registration is $45. This will include a number of items including a commemorative printed travel guide to our road trip that details every mile and moment of the planned trip. Included also will be name badges, car identification placards and a number of other items we are still working on as of this writing. Most importantly, registered participants will have access to the many planned events, discounted rates on hotels and other services, and perks of the event.
