( not sure what section this should go in - you need a "Chatter" 

Getting ready to book my plane ticket ( already booked a class seat )

See the class ends 3pm on Friday.  Trying to decide about a 4:30 flight that day or waiting until Saturday.

Any thoughts re time to get to airport ( I'll have a car ) or how many other folks may be staying over to make a get together Friday night to digest class feasible?  )

I know Ivan is going to be up for the class ( I mean, hey, Brazil is in the neighborhood so ...  )

Who else?

Booking a 4:30 flight will be fine.  The traffic within our airport is low and you can leave our office, turn in your car, go through security, and be at your gate all within 45 minutes (easily).

Unless I am driving, then you will be there in 5 minutes or so...

I suggest keeping Ivan in the passenger seat

Does that mean with Ivan driving we make it in 3 minutes ?
