Hey all. I'm a first-time poster, long-time lurker, and I plan to come this year if possible. I also attended last year.
Last year was a blast, even though I came alone from Minnesota via Greyhound (that aspect of the experience I would never do again). I love festivals, yet I typically despise the camping aspect. I have always been a teetotaler and I have great difficulty sleeping without silence. Hence, last year was great except when the music stopped and I was left to the mercies of the campers and the rampant camper-made music, shouts, fireworks, etc. Additionally, someone, who was on something, tried to steal my tent at 4:00 am Saturday... with me in it at the time.
As much as I love the Bonnaroo crowd (and I really do during the scheduled music hours), I am thinking of springing for the advertised travel package and grabbing airfare (coming from Seattle this year), an airport shuttle to a hotel, the 4-day stay at the to-be-named hotel, and the supposed 24-hour shuttle to the actual Bonnaroo concert site.
Has anyone ever actually done this? Does the shuttle actually function 24 hours? Where does it pick you up? How is the crew?
This year, I would really like to sleep in a bed and shower daily. This would make last year's personal experience more improved this year.
For my personal situation, I am not willing/able to do an RV, since I have to fly based both on distance (Seattle) and time (doctoral preliminary exam Wednesday afternoon).
Again, any advice on the hotels and 24-hour shuttle would be great. Thanks all. You'll see more of me on this site as the days to Bonnaroo wind down.
