Little help with geography!
« on: October 19, 2005, 03:54:03 AM »
Hello!

I live in London UK, and I will be travelling to the US next March to watch the World Baseball Classic.

The date and the whereabouts have yet to be confirmed, but I'll probably be in EITHER Florida (March 9-11) OR San Diego (March 18-20).

I'd love to go and see a PBA event while I'm there, so can anyone tell me if any of these places are located close to Florida or San Diego?

Mar. 1 - 5, 2006 PBA Pepsi Championship  Fairlawn, OH  
Mar. 15 - 19, 2006 PBA Ace Hardware Championship  Taylor, MI  
Mar. 20 - 26, 2006 PBA Denny's World Championship  Indianapolis, IN  

Many thanks!!!

Hey CharlieBrown,

Unfortunately those events are probably in the range of at least 1500 miles from Florida and a whole bunch more from San Diego. Those events are all close to Ohio. Sorry to bring bad news for you

Fairlawn is 45 minutes from my house....Indy is 5 hours directly west of me....driving, it takes me around 20 hours to get to Disney World, which is in Orlando, the heart of Florida. Michigan is above me, so it will be just that much longer. However, we are only a 2 hour plane flight away from Florida!

CB,

Anytime you want to make that trip to our area (Ohio) please feel free to do so! I'm sure your BR brethren would try to see you had a good trip and even meeting you for a few frames of ENJOYMENT! Like Clint I too am about 40-45 minutes from Fairlawn but on the North side of it. I'm closer to Cleveland.

Gotta love those OHIO bowlers... Right Clint!

Cheers Howard!

I'll probably be going to San Diego, cos that's where the World Baseball Classic Final takes place.

Though after finding out Ohio is only 2 hours flight away from Florida complicates things a bit! If I was to visit Florida/Ohio, it'd be really great to have a few games with you guys. One thing for certain, I'm going to buy one or two bowling balls while I'm there, as there are almost 50% cheaper than here in UK.

Guess it all depends on my bank manager.........

CB,

Not a problem, can't blame you on buying the balls here! Maybe we'll catch you on another trip. Hope you enjoy your stay in San Diego, hear the weather there is quite nice YEAR ROUND! When you do visit I may have to show you how to properly sharpen a BUZZSAW ;P
